[SEL] It followed me home, Compressor.

Nice toys, Frank.

Is that a tensioning pulley I see?
If it is I would just make up a belt.
I have a piece of conveyor belt that I cut to make custom belts then I also have several different belt lacer machines.

For that maybe an automotive serpentine belt,,,,,  If you can't find one the right size then cut a longer one and lace it.

It appears to be a very early Pelton & Crane Co. dental 
compressor.  Any experts out there?  It should clean up well and will 
add some more fun to my trailer with the generator on it.  I think I 
will find a way to run it slow because it makes a great noise.  I 
show it with a drill motor to give an idea of size.
Does any one have any ideas on where I can get a belt?

About a week after winning that one I got this one. I haven't got 
this one home yet.  It is complete and therefor a bit heavy to 
ship.  I guess with two I have a collection.
