Splendid restoration. I have an OCD problem when watching mechanical restoration videos, but have learned that your videos never trigger it. Sweet relief... Thank you brother! Keep it up! BTW...does anyone else find it remarkable that this air compressor was made the same year mankind first walked on the moon? What is your initial reaction to this: "Simplicity x (Precision + Top Quality Materials) = Functionally Sustainable Heirlooms" ...wow im a dork.
Though it's that super old it still seems to work like modern. Just what might be interesting is how much power it draws from the line...maybe there modern compressors are a bit ahead (cheaper power bills 😁)
Since that Pressure Tank is 50 years old, It should be tested Hydrostatically at 1.5 times working pressure. If it is rated at 100 psi, then test it full of water at 150 psi. You may need a special pump to do this but do it in a clear area in case it explodes. It may have had moisture in it for years and corroding at welds etc. 9 kpa/cm2 is about 135 PSIG. Stay clear!
I blew a tractor tire near me once, i was lucky that the blow made it fly away from me, but i couldn't hear straight for two hours after that. I was lucky that day. Air pressure is no joke, i fear these systems more than gas.
This is just wonderfully restored I have no complaints, the color is amazing the creativity is brilliant and the video it self is just great in on it self.
As others mentioned, be careful of a rusted tank. Even if you don't want it tested, at least inspect the inside of the tank for severe rust. A cheap borescope camera dropped down one of the connection holes works well. The worst rust will obviously be along the bottom of the tank where the condensate sits. I just fired up an old compressor that was sitting for a few years only to find pin holes at the bottom of the tank. Looking inside showed severe rust along the bottom, the rest of the tank inside was still shiny silver bare steel. That went to the curb for scrap.
As a red seal journeyman plumber gasfitter in canada i am amazed by these videos. Wondering what trade you have to be such a pro craftsman. Love these videos!
Superior Japanese quality. And of course excellent restoration. I would suggest repainting the "Iwata - Minicom" lettering on the side of the air tank. Keep up the good work!
You are a truly professional craftsman. As a red seal journeyman plumber and gasfitter in canada i am perplexed to know what trade you do and where you do it. Ive always wanted to restore things like this. I do it with old faucets and heating equipment
Beautiful job! I have a similar compressor, except it has two small tanks attached. The pump is an Iwata 150B model, is that the same as yours....the pump looks the same. I have never known what to set the pressure switch at max pressure. It looks like you have yours set at 9kg/cm2. I guess I should set mine that was too.
I might be 4-month's late in watching this amazing restoration: which I actually found whilst peeping elsewhere. Regardless, and though at the moment, for reasons I won't go in to, I find I have available time to watch your video collection from the beginning. After which I might even start my own private collection... Good luck, and thanks for the ideas.
Nice work, the only thing i would do differently is hydro testing the tank before the restoration process, mainly because of how old it is, there might be some heavy corrosion at the bottom, which make it dangerous to operate or even fail and explode if unlucky.
Buen trabajo de restauración. Pero como ya te han dicho, revisa el tanque de aire. Y lo otro, pule las piezas de bronce. El tubo de cobre lo hubiera dejado en el color original y le hubiese aplicado un barniz transparente así como a la válvula de seguridad en bronce, el das un toque industrial y ecléctico. Y las ruedas le hubiese puesto unas de goma, así amortiguas la vibración y el ruido. Por lo demás, buen trabajo!!!
There's nothing better in this world than that moment when you are hand sanding a restored tool prior to paint, and you tell yourself constantly, every 30 seconds: "Do it fast. You're taking too long. Dont be a paint in the But. It doesn't have to be perfect!!!"...
Just about to do a similar restoration on my 1970 Stenhoj compressor - why sell it on and buy another, when for a bit of work I can restore to 'as new'. Great video - we need more people on YT to show / convert people to restoring things rather than throwing away and buying new.
I hope you inspected the boiler/tank well! Old Tanks with rust are NO JOKE when used with air pressure. Pretty much turning into a ticking time bomb after 20-30 years. Always depends on how often the condense water was released… tank can look shiny from outside, but may be full of rust inside and explode!! Do a hydro test!!! It’s the least that should be done!!
Great restoration video. Not complaining but my OCD flag went up at 14:01. I was waiting for you to tap that bulge on the fan guard back in. :-) No problem though. The compressor looks great.

You are making difference with how people look at old and broken machinery. if everyone did this we would have less waste. Fantastic job!
Thank you so much :)

I am also renovating my 1989 compressor. It was 30 years old and it was time to give it a makeover!
Hello from France ...
I hope you bought a new Tank for it. Pressure Tanks are no joke! At least get it checked…
... молодец Гир!-, отличная получилась реставрация, выглядит как будто новый, дал вторую жизнь старой вещи 👍👍👍🤓🤭👏🤫🛠️⚙️🔗👌🆗🇷🇺👈🤝!!!
Wow what a talented man. Very Good. I could watch him all day 🧐
The color is beautiful! I appreciate the restoration, some modern touches but nothing extravagant.
You're welcome, I'm glad you like this color.

I agree, that's an old tank and need to be tested
I thought the same

@Gord Baker Yes, you are right, I do appreciate you sharing this information.

True.
Pressure needs to be tested carefully
once again it turned out great. Especially the hammer-effect paint looks great.
Thank you so much 😀
@@gear_show no problem.
I like the rotating Jar with sand in it. Very clever.
Thank you so much!

Great restoration - another vintage machine saved from the Furnace. 👍👍👍
Many thanks!
Una belleza...gracias por mostrar...estoy aprendiendo
Lovely Restoration.As some friends have suggested take care to pressure test the tank in future restorations
Yes, you are right

beautiful job.....love that paint will have to find some in NZ
Good job bud!
That Sanblaster must be huge to fit the whole tank
I must say, this has been one of your best restorations to date.
Excellent work. Very well done Sir! Greetings from Southport UK.
Many thanks!
That's beautiful. Love the addition of auto cut off as well. More safe = more better.
Definitely!

Have the reservoir tested. Air explosions are no joke, shrapnel, ear drum rupture, the list is painful.

Awesome job sir I like it a lot
Thank you very much
That’s pretty smart shit using a container full of sand to sand every thing down by spinning the container
Thank you so much, but it take much time.

Im amazed about the state of the tank after all that time. Apart from peeling off paint, rust and dirt, its in good shape.
Yes, it is.
