JamesB,look around at the tool stores.There seem to be a lot of compressors in the $400 to $500 range that should fit your needs.Lowes,Home Depot,etc.Also look at the ones in Tractor Supply,they have a very good asst.from smaller ones up to industrial size compressors.Stay away from the oiless type compressors that Sears sells,they are very noisy,and have a tendancy to burn up after using them for a short time.
