If you are going to bring up good guys from the past you have to mention "The Admiral". I never met him in person, but I sure wanted to. Seemed like an incredibly nice guy. /Ed On Wed, Feb 12, 2014, at 07:46 PM, Ron Kellison wrote: Tom, I just remembered that Domasky was also referred to as T

Howdy Ronald Yes indeedy, we sold out late '97/early '98. I then worked part time for "The Golf Doctor," for a while then ran a store in Tustin, which I quit because of the incredible Orange County traffic. It was a second store a guy was trying to make a go of but it didn't pan out. Bad location

Christ, Tom! Is your memory going? :<) I remember your notes about getting out of the business and then moving but I would have sworn that it wasn't 15 years ago! Where did the time go? We used to have some GREAT arguments "back in the day"! If I remember correctly, most of the serious discus

Mine is a 5 gallon, 2 piston affair that I've had since about 1968 or so. I like the Sears inflator when my car's outside and I need to pump up a tire. I can't move that big-ass compressor out of the garage easily (my garage is my workshop since I sold out the business in '98). I kinda miss the sp

"Toy Compressors?" Sure. But mine has lasted for years. I do have a "real" compressor but sometimes I use the "toy" just out of boredom. Besides, the cheap ones are crap. I agree. Mine is a significantly larger (with built-in pressure gauge) than the little put-puts some folks buy. I've used it t
