Compressor has given up the ghost.

Post by SiDennis »

Typical, just when I was getting my mojo back my compressor has decided it doesn't want to play anymore. It was a cheap one off eBay, don't think i'll try and fix it, it's served its purpose. So now I'm in the market for a new one, looking to spend around £80 to £90 but could stretch to a bit more. Can anyone recommend one? I know it's probably a frequently asked question but you help would be much appreciated :th:

Is noise a factor, type of dwelling. Where do you do your modeling. What did you have before.

Until recently I was using one of these:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BADGER-Airbru ... SweW5U5Lm2. I found it to be excellent. I still have it but my wife bought me a Bambi for my last birthday. I did list it on Ebay a short while ago but decided to keep it as a back up. I would recommend getting one with a tank if you can.

I don't know how much it is but check out Paul's review of the Sparmax

Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

As Steve says one of those compressors ( I have a similiar type myself ) are quite good. Without paying a small fortune for the latest fad or something deemed hobby orientated.
