Sheldon sporting goods compressor?

[manni-yunk]

Is anyone else using a Sheldon sporting goods compressor? I figured Id post a few questions on here before I drive Jim nuts!!!



Does anyone use the Model bGAS4-2 is a Kidde, belt drive, 6.5 HP gas powered or something comparable. I like the fact that it is continuous duty rated and I really like the fact that the guy who makes it is available for any questions, service, repair, and is a respected memebr of several boards.
Also - About what does it weigh - much of my use will be garage - but about half will be topping off doubles on the boat in between dives.

Is anyone using this compressor for continuous blending of Nitrix BELOW 40% with a Nitrox stick. I know that since it is a mil spec unit - the RPMs are high and some would say not to continuous blend with it - but that others say it isnt a problem at all.

I already ordered the Oxyhacker book (yesterday).

Thanks for any feedback from Sheldon customers or those familiar with these units

I own a 4.2 cfm WK compressor and love it. I bought the head and then needed help getting it up and running. Jim was very very helpful and helped me save lots of money. I ended up buying some other parts from Jim and was pleased with the service.

Next month I plan on building my mix stick and will be continous blending Nitrox up to 40%. I was hoping to have it already completed but ended up working way to many hours at work for the last several months.

Manni,
The unit is 19 X 19 X 34 long and weights 142 pounds. The frame makes it easy for two people to carry.
