Vintage Speedy Sprayer Compressor -The Compressor - Restoration

[@davegrummett1263]

I watch quite a few restoration channels and don't think I've ever seen anyone else use a steam cleaner. Great idea !! 👍

[@AJRestoration]

Thanks Dave, I actually got the idea from The Posts Apocalyptic Inventor in one of his Repair-A-Thon episodes. It worked really good, so I had to get my hands on one.

[@tommyschauer3093]

I HAVE ONE OF THIES. IT HAD ROTTEN RUBBER IN IT. I DID NOT HAVE I LARGE RUBBER TO FIX IT WITH, BUT I DID HAVE SOME LEATHER. I PUT IN A NEW OIL SOKED LEATHER ONE. IT WORKS FINE UP TI ABOUT 45 / 50 PSI. GOOD JOB ON YOURS.

amazing white powder coat

[@goldmancash]

I just picked one of these up at a yard sale! I can't wait to restore it. Thank you for the inspiration and showing fine detail. Excellent work!

[@AJRestoration]

Glad I could help Kenneth!

[@TheRealDrKel]

my grandma had one without an eletric motor and i put a gas engine on it, now it is truly portable

[@amirrezazadeh906]

Well done it seems like the day that was made

[@lpconserv6074]

While there are several methods, most require chemicals I would not want to recommend them to average house hold users. But I found this after a bit of searching... Silicone spray is usually used as a sealant and is sold in camping stores to restore the waterproofing on tents and clothing, but you can also use it to soften older, stiff rubber. If you have the time to wait for it to work, up to a week this article says, this should help salvage a part that is difficult or impossible to replace otherwise. Really LOVE your methods and skill set. I am quite sure given this compressor, I would not have been successful in the restoration as you were. You seem to have a way of finding the thin path sometimes to getting it back into the original condition when I would have opted for a rather un-original upgrade. Keep it up YOUR way. The results are MUCH better in the end.

Nice restore job

[@AJRestoration]

Glad you like it

[@mskayla7747]

Another nice one. I watch your channel for 2 reasons: 1) to see what neat old items you've found to restore, and 2) to listen to the sounds of nature in the background, which is quite calming. 😊

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you Ms Kayla, I also love the birds in the background, so many guys tend to complain about it, I love it.

[@mskayla7747]

@@AJRestoration birds chirping, rain on a metal roof... It's relaxing. Please keep including it in your videos.

[@AJRestoration]

I will never remove any of it, I promise!

Beautiful work!!!! Thank you for the video!

[@garymucher4082]

Nice refurbishing project. Look very nice. It would be a great compressor for an air brush setup. Thumbs Up!

[@AJRestoration]

I think so too!

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota

[@AJRestoration]

Morning!

[@lpconserv6074]

Excellent choice on the steam cleaning!! Look into finding a plasticizer for the rubber parts to soak in. It may be able to rejuvenate some of these parts that are truly NON replaceable in todays time frame. Most older parts like this are made of butyl rubber, as I think it matters when looking for the right plasticizer.

[@Austeration]

Beautiful job 👍 looks fantastic right down to the new decal. Well done.

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello AJ beautiful restoration good job well done

Thank you Vince!

Great job

Great restoration on an original item!

[@glenturner4985]

Nice job , pretty cool pump . I was saying to myself, the handle is upside down , man the handle is upside down , lol 😆

[@AJRestoration]

Hahaha I did turn it the right way up though, in the end.

[@Mikey__Mike]

Very Satisfying to watch. It looks epic now :)

[@AJRestoration]

It did come out great if I have to say so myself!

[@ВадимКузнецов-з2й]

... молодец!-, отличная получилась работа, выглядит как будто новый, осталось только приобрести рессивер и реле давления, удачи во всём, новых творческих успехов, а также здоровья!!!

Unique sprayer,to think at one time this was modern technology,good video,keep it up and carry on 😎😎😎👍👍👍

Really awesome job. Love that enamel sprayer too.

[@davidmolloy4298]

Great work!

[@jwrappuhn71]

Excellent job bro.

[@thiggy1249]

Nice cleanup. Would there not originally have been an air filter element under the top cover? Greetings from Alabama.

[@shawnwright4129]

I live in Alabama too! Excellent restore too. What's the green dust? Paint, rust, or martian bong water?

[@AJRestoration]

In hindsight I should have put a small filter in there.

[@AJRestoration]

To me it looked like paint build up, it did not smell like mold.

[@MetalRestorationBho]

That was awesome! 💪💪💪

[@MarkMeadows90]

Hey, another nice restoration pal! I couldn't resist my immature laughter at 22:03 when you hand spun the machine. The suction made those fart like noises lol

[@AJRestoration]

Hahahah that did sound like a fart!

Just one thankfully hahaha

Amazing Bro 😉 Big Hug

[@AJRestoration]

Thanks bro!

[@heartofthunder1440]

I’d like to know how much it’s worth now after the restoration project. I have one and the motor works, it blows a little air but not a lot, being on how old it is , it might be worth something. But, it could be worth more if it’s restored too.

[@q-dance2696]

Шикарная работа Лайк 👍👍👍

[@APerfectRestoration]

Good job👌👌👏👏 Can you explain to me the way of painting you use in your restorations?

[@DaleDix]

Powder coating

[@homeyshlitz]

Nicely done man. What was all that green powder?

[@AJRestoration]

I think it was paint dust from all the years of use. It did not smell or look like mold.

[@iranalencar5925]

[@RS-yj3gn]

Cool stuff. Well shot video too. I'm stuck fixing an Air Command 2cyl. Can't get the butterfly valves after only 20 years. Any advice please?

[@AJRestoration]

Those are quite rare, you would be lucky to find spares, you can have a local machine shop try make new parts, or see if EBAY has any.

[@RS-yj3gn]

@@AJRestoration much appreciated thanks. Have tried local dealer and exdealers. No parts. Not tried ebay yet.

[@AJRestoration]

Good luck buddy!

[@adamnapolitano432]

This is the only channel I know of that uses a paint powder gun like that. How does it work?

[@RogelioCruz-s1s]

Donde consigo el filtro por donde entra el aire

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

White always makes me nervous on machines, but it's a great piece! Aluminum is so much fun to watch. I'm guessing the green stuff was mold/mildew from condensation?

[@samuelfellows6923]

Dry paint dust - as it had no filter, I assume it would have inhaled the paint particles from the spraying?

[@nomadbud4378]

Missing the round air filter at the top

[@KarelRode]

Puik werk. Wat is volgende?

[@AJRestoration]

Baie dankie, ek is nou besig met 'n ou geroesde casserol pot.

Very nicely done. Do you live near an airport?

[@AJRestoration]

Airforce base yes.

[@braidwooddesignstudio5536]

@@AJRestoration Did sound like it...

[@kfortney1975]

What base are you near? I knew the sound of a fighter as soon as I heard it. I spent 21 years in the Air Force working on fighters.

[@AJRestoration]

That was a old fighter jet here in South Africa known as "The Vampire"

[@AJRestoration]

The de Havilland Vampire is a British jet fighter which was developed and manufactured by the de Havilland Aircraft Company.

[@redangel95]

Do you know what all of that green dust was on the inside? Was it just rust/dirt?

[@ChixWoman]

Baie goeie werk. Ek wonder net soms waar jy onderdele kry vir jou projekte. Hou so aan.

Meeste van die tyd probeer ek oorspronklike parte van die projek te gebruik

[@peterevosirch7047]

Cool

[@adamluka7984]

what's that spray material called ?

[@JohnDoe-zr6bk]

It seems the unit has no Belt tensioner? Can you add one? Surprisingly quiet for such an old machinery.

[@sftvierendeels]

Quelle est la pression de sortie?

[@isaacruizandero6407]

Buen trabajo, pero por favor quítate los guantes cuando uses el cepillo eléctrico. Si se engancha te puede llegar a hacer mucho daño.

[@Wulfmoon9]

I enjoy watching this because if I tried to do it. I would strip every other screw, drop it, and use very bad words.

[@Marcelo-56]

19:00 Forgot to put on the air filter‼️

[@jaredhirsch2859]

diaphragm was installed upside down. Otherwise, great video!

The diaphragm can be installed either way.

I hope you wear a mask when dealing with those moldy things!

Yes, safety is really important.

Nice work! But please find a way to collect the dust of the color from the air sprayer. This is an absolute no go for the environment in terms of microplastic.

I do plan on building a spray booth wit a filtration system.

No no, you’re supposed to intentionally put the handle on worng. That way you get tons of comments 😀

[@wolfgangbalu1253]

Ballon is all that can be performed very weak air pump or not corectly restored

[@glennsoucy4359]

Paint spraying is about volume of air, not pressure, hence the HVLP you see on today's compressors. High Volume Low Pressure
