I plugged that bugger in last night to SEE how it will run.HOLYpnuematics!,sounded like a cement mixer!,Wonder if I canput it on top of a wood box to kill the vibration,I'm geaqring up to paint soon.Neighbor downstairs.
How big is it? A wooden box to put it on will muffle it just like it works with a piano, violin, or cello... it'll resonate very nicely.
The reason I ask about its size is that you may have better success suspending it by bungee cords from something. It it's small enough, ike a Paasche D500, you might suspend it by bungee cords under a chair!That will not allow the vibration to be transmitted anyhow.
But if you have shared walls, you may consider getting rid of the compressor and investing in a CO2 system instead. Good luck!
I too have one of the campbell-hausfeld Wal-Mart compressors. First one died after 18 months service used daily. Wally cheerfully replaced it with a new compressor. Same basic model, but with different electronic control module. I put it in the hobby shop in January and it still runs like a watch. I purge the tank once a week in addition to having a water trap inline. Never had a compressor related problem. HTH, Bruce
