Thanks to everyone who offered information about Rix compressors.

To summarize:  Rix compressors are reliable and easily
serviced/maintained/rebuilt by an owner, but although they deliver
high-quality air, one should probably add (1) a coalescor (moisture
separator?), (2) either a dryer or combination purifier cartridge, and (3)
a micron particle filter to catch stray filter media from the purifier
cartridge.  One person warned about the high initial cost of the Rix;
several others thought that the price of the Rix is competitive.  Another
person warned that any savings I would realize by not having to replace
hyperfilters would be consumed by maintenance (replacing rings).  Finally,
I found compelling the argument that a Rix admits options (e.g., oxygen
injection) that a non-oil-free compressor does not.

Again, thanks to all.

Ronald
