motor is marked as 115/230 and is currently wired for 110v. Should be ok :).

Looked at a 40+/- gallon horizontal tank twin cylinder (?dual stage?) "Model 1500" air compressor this evening. Appears to be 50's or 60's year of manufacture. Plate says it's rated for 134-175 psi. Anyone have experience with this brand/model compressor and can give feedback good or bad? Asking price is $100. Luther, Dayton is sold heavily by Graingers, and may still be in production, certainly parts will be available. My thought is Dayton is a low to medium grade commercial product, so would last a long time with average home use. But may not be very efficient, compared to current belt less compressors I would say first off you need to know what kind of power this thing draws, 3 phase is not usually available at private residences. Even a a big 230-240 volt single phase motor might be tough on your circuits as the motor will typically draw 5 to 6 times run current at startup.
