Okay - word to the wise.
Eldon @ Jet Co is really nice and helpful and they seem to be a decent company. BUT...I paid $334 for that new compressor including shipping. It arrived yesterday. It's a woefully small Pacbrake HP325 brand compressor that I can get anywhere for $170. It's on Amazon for $169.99 with free shipping.
Price gouging aside, at 1/4 HP and 1.2 CFM it would take forever to fill my 5-gallon tank. It would kill itself in no time. I can get a compressor with more than twice the output for $190 elsewhere. So I'm going to go that route once I get a return authorization from Jet Co.
I don't want to burn that bridge since Eldon was so nice and helpful, but paying twice as much for an inadequate part rubs me the wrong way.
