It was legit- the seller is an industrial compressor dealer and he was upgrading their back shop. It came with a spare head and oil pump- this thing is like an automotive motor. It has an actual oil pump, poppet valves, unloader system, and a Baldor motor. You can either leave the compressor motor running constantly and use the unloader to regulate pressure, or use the tank switch.
Its a horizontal unit, weighs about 400 pounds. Its going to live in the attic space of my shop if I can figure out how to hoist it up there without killing someone.
Audios to my 30 gallon Coleman, how I hated ye.

Before you put that in the attic, check and make sure the ceiling joist will hold. That's a load.

I don't own a vehicle that isn't old enough to drink.

I set it up in a corner of my shop for now next to the 240V outlet. It has a slow leak in the water drain valve, but that will be easy to fix. It sounds nice too, a nice soothing thub thub.
