Vintage Ritter Antique Dental Air Compressor

[redeyerat]

Just picked this up for 25$ on a local classified ad. Runs great! Looks cool, and is so quite you can whisper to someone standing rite next to it and they will hear everything! The issue is.. can't find info on these.. If anyone can steer me in the rite direction, i would be greatly appreciated. thx

wow that's a cool thing!
Do you know how many psi will it reach?

 

[redeyerat]

I'm really digging this thing.. I've been trying to find out as much as I can. From what I can figure out the factory psi's are 20-40psi. It did not have a pressure gauge, I went to princess auto and spent twice what a paid on fittings and gauge. I managed to get 77.5 psi and the low psi trip is at around 60psi. I'm going to use this around the shop, painting, pin nailer, brad nailer, and can hook up my air brush to this this.. how cool is that, without a regulator.

oh man, another thing I've gotta look for! :lol:

Cool, just the right size for airing up bike tires and other light duty stuff without having a really big unit taking up valuable workspace.

Well, that's the asking price, this might be a more accurate gauge:

Wow, if I knew about this one, I could've drove downtown, crossed the Centennial bridge and carried it home in my Pick Up Truck.
