Inbound California Air 4hp Compressor W/drier

California Air was telling me they have received units back for repair that had 2 gallons of water inside them. We don't get the oppressive SE type humidity, I have been in that its bad.
 
The compressor finally arrived this afternoon. I installed the feet and mufflers and plugged it into my lathe 220vac outlet for a quick test just now. 81 decibels standing right in front of the unit, 75 decibels about 20 feet away as advertised. I think they advertise the decibel rating at 9 meters away. The noise is not harsh, I'm not sure I would say it was soothing but almost. Sounds a bit like a back massager I don't think it will annoy me running. A very nice noise reduction from the 95 decibel Rolair.

So now I need to find a permanent home for it and run some power. Edit: Interesting, I see the tank looks like its flat white paint its actually high gloss.

Coolidge I am very envious as usual of you exceptionally good taste in tools... I may have to joint tmarks in outright jealousy... Congratulations on the new addition! If you need a 50 year old son, please put me on the list!
 
The man sure is getting some fine tools.... that compressor looks mighty fine indeed.

cheers

Thanks guys. It seems like every time I try to save money on tools/machines I get burned so I'm trying to buy higher quality without getting ridiculous.
