My compressor was my dad's. He bought around 1980. I just replaced the compressor on the tank last year. It ate the reed valves in the head, and beat the chit out of the top of the pistons. After every us. I drain the water out of it. Sometimes I get a teaspoon. Other times I get a quart. It depends on the humidity in the air that day. I also have my tank bolted down to the floor.
