Yes I have more air volume, but I have a compressor that runs twice as much as it used to, also.

If the compressor doesn't sell, give it away. Just don't tie it into another one, unless the motor and compressor unit on it is very overrated.
Personally, I have firearms. Lots of firearms, and ammo. I would use your non working unit as a target. That would be a fun day.
That's good to know! I have an offer on it already, so I'll just let it go!

Thanks,

Michael
