The new one is an upright 60 gal tank with 6.5hp, 13.5cfm @ 90psi. This will keep up with anything I throw at it for my use. I gave $329 for it at Harbor Freight. It is US General. Made in USA. The problem for you is, that this is a 240V only motor. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=55222 They do have smaller ones. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) '05 KIA Sorento SUV russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
