Back on the GMC Net after a couple years absence...

Rebuilt my Dana compressor a few years ago with less than spectacular
results. Found a couple of "cheap" 12V compressors at Shucks that did
the job - for a while. I still have one left but the one that had been
running the system finally gave up the ghost last weekend. I want to
keep the spare for "emergency" pumping duty.

Jim K sells the Firestone 9287. Why the Firestone 9287 compressor
instead of the 9286?
Both are 100% Duty cycle at 150psi. 9286 uses less amps.

I'm sure someone has done the research. What I can find doesn't justify
the difference in cost. (approx $70) Am I missing something?

Jim seems to be very competitive with his $297 for the 9287. Just
wondering why that one is any better.

And then of course there's the Viar compressor.

Anyway... I'm in the market. Going to put the Dana back in there for
now bit it's really slooooow...

Thanks,
Kelvin
