nearly free - CH air compressor - needs piston ring - LA area

I have a campbell hausfield air compressor, model wl600602AJ with a bad piston ring - motor runs, the tank is good, the reg and manifold/switch is presumably good, but it won't pump because the piston ring is bad - I figure the tank and wheels are worth something, the rest is free - but I also have a space problem - if you would like it, bring me something in trade (a cutoff bit, a 24V machine lamp, or ??), or provide me with a good story as to why you want it - the best offer or story wins - if no one wins, I'll use it as a roll around air storage tank and throw the compressor away. This thing is located on the west side of Los Angeles.

I run a school for retarded children who aspire to be corporate executives. We are in desperate need for a compressor to teach them hot to "blow hot air".

If that's a good enough reason, I will appreciate this compressor. :)

Use it as a storage tank. The new tank pumps up itself and the old tank. A tool then must use up both tanks at the flow/pressure rate. Just makes a smaller pump stay off longer and smooths out the pressure.

actually not a bad idea, but my main compressor is a 5 hp Quincy with an 80 gal (or larger?) tank which kinda makes the little tank on this compressor not worth a lot as an additional buffer - but it's on wheels, so of course I can pull the compressor off and put fittings on it and have an air tank on wheels - and if no one chimes in and really wants the compressor, that may well become its fate.

meanwhile, I'm really disgusted that I can't get a repair part for this thing - for want of a 50 cent (ok, $2) piece of plastic, the whole compressor becomes junk - Bah!

Normally I'd say "Jump in there and do the job yourself, Man!" but I see why you're afraid of those bazongas and how you could easily drown. Best of luck finding the proper sucker!
