Ok, the Canadian gov't has a department of Public Works, and it has a group responsible for getting rid of surplus or warn out or seized items. To date I have picked up some uninterpretable power supplies, a small Dewalt Air compressor, and my 93 Chev Truck (Indians smuggling in cigarettes)
This week I spotted a Swan Air Compressor, its a 5ho, dual cylinder, 60 gallon upright air compressor. If you look at the pictures note that is is pained in OD Green, note the picture show how it is bolted to the skid. Being that it has to be hard wired into an electrical panel it could not be tested so it was sold for parts.
I low balled the bid,, the unit new is worth over $1800 wholesale. I figured I was too low, but hey you never know.
I won the bid!!! I picked it up yesterday and as I suspected it is brand new, never been used ex base spare. Its copper is all like new, no dust on it because it was still in its original packing crate. I just need a belt and to hook it up and I am ready to go... now I can get some nice air tools.
here is my new toy
