[pianotech] FW: air compressor

[paul bruesch]

Dave,

Is it this one ==> http://bit.ly/1LXRnD ?
There was a thread here not too long ago about oil-less compressors... I
really can't stand my 3-gallon Porter-Cable oil-less compressor, at least
for anything but staple/brad/finish nailing. I don't recall ever seeing
non-oil-less in this price range.
