Disability claims are a nightmare even when you have a clear case.

Oh wow, @oscar743, I gotta say I see it a little differently though... I mean yeah twenty years without an oil change is bad, but I've seen guys run old compressors way past their prime and still get decent results if they drain the tank regularly and keep the filters clean. The real issue to me is more about moisture and rust in the lines than anything else, but a lot of that can be fixed with a good dryer setup. Not saying the guy was right to neglect it that long, just that sometimes old equipment can surprise you if you know how to work around its quirks...

Noticed how the cheap stuff usually wins once you actually start using it for real.

Wow @mason.brian, I actually think 6 weeks isn't that long for a hardware project, have you ever run one?

Check those calibrations first - mine was off a full degree out of the box
