Omega Super Charger, bought used 9 years ago, 94 hours. Did a gear box repair a couple of years ago, other than that just keeps pumping.

Good ole Airetex 45 . After 9 years , just chugging along. Shown here topping off my buddy's 6000 psi nitrogen bottle . I fill it to 5000 psi and it lasts him a year . Good thing too , cause that sucker is HEAVY !!.

Of my 5 compressors I have 2 of them set up right now. 2 are in some state of repair and 1 is one of those small Chinese portable boxes that I rarely even use (Orcair). It lives in the Castin' Shack.
This morning I reorganized my compressor station/table in the shop. I moved a non working compressor off to free up some space and changed from a 5gal water supply to a 3 gallon vessel and repurposed an old router table as a stand. I also repurposed a standing guitar rack to stand guns in for filling. Next I'll mount that coolant temp gauge in the leg of the stand and repaint the stand.

For a trial run I topped that 30 minute scba tank up from 3500psi to 4200psi. The compressor temp rose to 130f and held and the coolant supply temp went from 78f to 80f. Total run time was less than 10 minutes.

Not bad for a 3 year old Yong Heng that is still stock. I change oil regularly and don't fill tanks often because I don't use tanks often.

I used to use my Altaros booster, it served me well for years and one day it stopped building pressure. After many emails back and forth, I gave up trying to fix it and went with Tuxing twin. Seco 500 oil and so far, so good. Way faster too, it will put 1000 psi in my 45 minute tank in 10 minutes. Used to take the Altaros 45.
