hi all, just thought id ask on here to see if you guys could reccomend anything.

My compressor has given up the ghost, its drawing to many amps on startup and tripping the building so im looking to replace it with another hydrovane.

any of you able to reccomend me a decent 3phase minumum 60cfm output?

had a scour through the usual (fleabay,gumtree etc)

cash waiting if anyone has or knows of one

thanks. chris

It will very likely be the motor start capacitor that has failed, a cheap fix if you;d rather get the old one working.

Stick them on ebay, Our local compressor guys sell anything that's totally fooked to a guy who just sends it all out to africa, said guy buys anything and everything off ebay with the word compressor in it that's going cheap thumbup
