I figured you would call my bluff :) Thats actually a good price IMO, but it would putting hours on my big compressor, which is sitting out under the eaves of the shop bujilding with a fresh tarp applied about annually. But in the 15 minutes since I posted that, I find I like the teeny air compressor idea even better. They are cheap. I haven't a spare smart trickle charger, but a $20 bill at Wallies will fix that, and I do have a 12 volt lawn tractor battery if it hasn't sulfated sitting for about 18 months. Relays and sockets are in the toolbox drawer. And it won't be putting megahours on my 30 gallon compressor. Now I just need to find my round tuit. ;-) Cheers, Gene ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
