This was incredibly confusing while I was watching the video…I came to the comments after I finished the video and now it makes sense.

I had one of these in the 1970s, a Christmas gift. Used it with a Badger airbrush to paint plastic model kits. It was noisy but got the job done and lasted for years; great restoration job as usual! Yours is mounted to a wooden base; mine had four sponge-rubber pads attached to the metal base plate to keep the compressor from walking across the floor when it was running. That motor may not be original; mine was painted the same hammertone green as the compressor. Also, they eliminated the long handle molded to the cylinder and the air outlet was threaded and at 90 degrees to the cylinder. I think my parents bought it from a hobby store in the Chicago suburbs. Thanks for the great memories, spent many happy hours using this compressor for model kit builds.

The cylinder walls were in fine condition considering how old the compressor is. It was another masterful restoration good sir. Cheers!

*Little tip* : when you have a crack in a metal part like the base plate of your compressor, drill a hole on each end of the crack, to prevent the crack from getting bigger in the future. The hole in the way of the crack will stop its expansion. (sorry if my english sucks, I hope you get what I mean lol ^^)

Dang. A 1950's compressor is vintage and I, born in November of 1941, am just an old geezer! Great video...stay safe...captjack...

Restoring gaming gears is good, but restoring old machines is BEST. Thanks for awesome video.

I legit laughed out loud when you used the drill powered spraycan shaker, I wasn't expecting that. What a genious invention! :) Also I thought the original patina was so cool! But it had to go obviously, the finished result is beyond amazing. Good job sir!

My boyfriend and I randomly discovered this channel about a year ago and I'm never not fascinated by the entire process. It's always interesting seeing you take stuff apart and insanely satisfying to watch you put it all together at the end. The pure versatility you have in skills to get this stuff done is incredibly impressive. Hats off to you.

am i the only one who enjoys the thought that the laser used to remove the old paint would have been considered science fiction when this air compressor was originally purchased?

Ultra-cool restoration brother, well done as usual! It seems that there's nothing that you and Ducktor can't bring back to life. Thanks for sharing your great videos with us. God bless. Rev. D.

It would have been a really good idea to have checked the motor's bearings and removed the motor's armature to give the inside a good cleaning and do a grease repack. The motor probably is badly in need of that after such a long period of time, it sounded like it needed it too even after the restore

A fantastic job...If I had to insert one nitpick (If only because I'm jealous) is that when you installed the cord into the motor that you did not put some kind of gasket to keep the cord away from the metal edges...It certainly seems like there should have been something there...

I think you see a lot more of that on other tools like a vacuum cleaner; it would also help prevent dust from getting into the motor housing and secure the cord from pulling in or out a little better.

Of the hundreds of restoration videos that I’ve seen, I’ve never watched someone use a laser for removing paint and rust. Very cool! Everyone uses paint remover, rust remover and or sand blasters.

Another awesome restoration! Side note: I would get some 3M lead testers to determine if there's lead paint before I use any method that might disperse it into the air. Also watch out for fiber gasket materials used in older items as they may contain asbestos. If I find fiber gasket material on older things I usually spray them down with penetrating oil before I disturb them to reduce the chances of getting that stuff in the air. Both of those things are nasty! Just my 2 cents.

What i love about old tools like this is that they can last forver with proper care and even if they are allowed to get in a state like this you'd only really need to sort out the motor to get it back into working order.
