so one of my account that owns a dry cleaning business called and asked if I would take a commercial air compressor...I generally only do ewaste, but I said SURE (they had a few other things as well).....WELL, it turns out it was a 900 POUND compressor...a QRS-15 by Chicago Tools....well of course I sk what happened to it...they said an electrical fire...I look at it and if there WAS a fire, it wasn't much of one. It was a BOOGER to get to my shop...took 3 of us to move the **** thing around....
I have a buddy that is coming to look at it that works on similar machines...going to offer a cut if he can fix whatever all is wrong with it. Here's the kicker....new they sell for $10K!!! Used and working about $6K!! HOLY BEJESUS....even if not economical of fix (which I am betting it will be)...the PARTS price alone should be over $1K MINIMUM!!!!! AGAIN HOLY CRAP!
And yes, I do know them and I know they just made an insurance claim since they needed the shop to be back up and running, so it is not stolen or something LOL...otherwise I would have been SUSPICIOUS and required all sorts of stuff from someone....
Take a look at this thing!
