[AT] somewhat off topic - Old Lindsay compressor

[John.Samulevich at alltel.com]

Thanks for the offer George!  I'm in Northeast PA, not that far but still far enough for it to become a chore.  And I've put so much effort into the Lindsay already, I wish I would have taken the heads apart on the compressor but everything else looked to be in really good shape so just didn't expect it.  The unexpected, that's what makes this darn stuff so much fun.    

THanks!  John

John,

I don't know where you're located but this might be an easier fix.  I have a
Jaeger 125 CFM compressor just rusting away.  I've found a reliable place to
have my blasting done so I know I'll never use it.  It's Continental
powered, 124-F I think.  A reasonable (low) offer and it will find a new
home.

I'm in north central Ohio.
