The Ranger is finally at the new place...Garage Queen for a few months.
(Damn that body looks good in that light........jk)
Picked up this little fella for a pretty decent price after some arguing with the manager at TSC.
I priced around and found that they were the best bang for your buck for a 14+ CFM compressor with a decent brand name and warranty. I called around 8am to make sure they had one in stock so I could swing by after work and grab it.....some fairly unprofessional guy answered phone with a "Hello?" He verified they did have one, but......it was missing the pressure switch and was the display model (they actually display all the bigger compressors on the floor). No biggy, he said they stole it because on on the smaller compressors was damaged during shipping and they used the one off this guy to fix it. He said they had the new one ready to go on. Cool...so I decided to go ahead and reluctantly agree to pay list price for a pieced together display model.(They still had best price by $100)
So I show up at around 6pm to pick it up. I noticed the pressure switch that they stuck on was a generic brand and had some cheap Chinese fittings adapting it on...I asked if they would discount it since they had cobbed it together with non OEM parts...They wouldn't budge. I should have walked out then, but like an idiot I still bought it. They took forever to get a forklift driver to load me up.
I get home and unload it....I start looking around at it to see where the outlet is so I can figure out how to orient it in the garage....and that's when I found that for some reason on this model the outlet is supposed to be on top with the pressure switch...and gauge..which was missing and reassembled incorrectly.
At this point I was furious, but they were closed. So first thing in the morning I went over with the receipt. Explained the situation (Kept my cool since this wasn't the manager from the night before)
I wanted 10% refund and the right parts, or Id load the bitch backup and exchange for the next size up (4cyl beast) or I return it and never come back.lol
The guy said he would order the OEM parts, expedite them, refunded me $100, and told me to keep the parts they put on it. (perfect for an OBA control later)...any who the whole ordeal pissed me off and I should have demanded more of a refund, but I paid less than what I would have for the 10 CFM I was originally looking at.
Scored two of these Reznor 75,000 BTU heaters for free (over $900 ea new) So the wood burner is in the scrap pile now.lol I just have to convert them to LP instead on NG. The kit is less than $100..I read the conversion stuff may be mounted inside so they could be swapped right off the bat if needed, but I haven't looked. These units where used for two winters in a warehouse, then removed when they added AC and put in storage where they sat for 4-5 years.
