Posted by Graham Carter I bought my compressor in 1974 at a leather-working shop in lower George St Sydney for about $100 which was a week's pay in those days. It is an oil-less Thomas and I have used it constantly for 31 years and apart from getting a bit hot if I spray for more than 30 mins constantly, it has not missed a beat. I used a Paasche F2 for the first 26 years and now run an H2. I think. like most things, you pays your money and get what you pay for. I thought my original purchase was over the top but it has proved worth it in the long run. Graham Carter
