Hello!
I have the unexpected opportunity of buying a used Silentaire Super Silent 50-T for less than half the cost of a new one. ( This was the compressor I had originally wanted. ) It has been sitting in the seller's garage for a couple of years. He bought it at an estate sale so doesn't know it's history, only that it turns on and seems ok.
I'm inspecting it tomorrow. How should I go about it? (What's the equivalent of 'looking under the hood' ?)
How can I tell its age, and whether it was well-maintained prior to its approximately 2 years of non-use? Or whether it needs an oil change? Or if it's going to break as soon as I take it home! Even at half price it's still a lot of money.
Thanks!
