Kevin,

Try Baur Compressors.  We've had good luck with them on the boat.

Expect to pay $2500 to $3500 for a used compressor.

Try contacting your local fire departments.  Frequently they fill their o=
wn
tanks and have their own compressor.  If they are looking to upgrade you
might get a great deal.

A suggestion for farther down the road...  DON"T try to cobble together
replacement filters.  Yup,  I know the ones from the manufacturer ARE
expensive.... =


BUT... this IS your BREATHING AIR we are talking about !!!!!  If you can'=
t
afford to maintain it,  you can't afford to buy it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
