    / @ajrestoration This is a vintage Sprayit diaphragm airbrush compressor Model #600-8 by THOMAS INDUSTRIES. I got this from a kind old man from Facebook Market Place.
    I hope you enjoy the video.

    The SPRAYIT Low-Pressure Canister Spray Gun can be used for a variety of different applications such as Automotive, Industrial, Marine, and Wood Working. The one-piece Lightweight Aluminum Gun Body with 1qt Aluminum Cup makes working with this spray gun very easy. The Stainless Steel Fluid Needle and Nozzle are corrosion resistant. The separate and adjustable fluid fan pattern allows you to control the paint flow for less waste. Convertible for bleeder and non-bleeder applications. Pressure or siphon feed converts from internal to external mix. The SPRAYIT brand has been manufacturing quality tools since 1928.
    Some History of the Spray Gun
    Who Invented Paint Sprayers?
    In 1887, Binks invented the very first spray gun for paint. It was a pump that had to be operated by hand, but a spray nozzle would disperse the paint thanks to the pressurization container which kept the contents under pressure. Basically, old-school paint sprayers work like the pump sprayers you would use today in your yard.
    This saved everyone an enormous amount of time and in 1893, after his work for the Colombian Exposition, Binks would become a household name throughout the US Midwest.
    The Invention of the Atomization Process and DeVilbiss
    The modern spray gun does more than just put paint under pressure so it can be sprayed outward. It also atomizes the paint so a fairly even coat of paint can be sprayed onto the surface being worked on.
    The invention of this process actually started with a doctor who was looking for a better way to treat his patients.
    Dr. Allen DeVilbiss was trying to solve the riddle of a sore throat. If he gave patients a liquid medication for their pain, it wouldn’t be very helpful. Pills and tablets weren’t working either.
    To create a spray, Dr. DeVilbiss would use some tubing, a container base, and a rubber bulb to help create pressure and a lower overall atmosphere to create a vacuum that would create “droplets” of medicine. These droplets would then stick to the back of the throat.
    Like Father like Son
    It would be his son, Thomas, who would take this technology and apply it to a spray gun for paint in 1907.
    Thomas discovered that when compressed air was blown across the pickup tube after it was submerged in paint, a spray pattern which users could directly control would result.
    This technology was immediately picked up by the furniture industry because using spray guns reduced their finishing time.
    What is a Spray Gun Used For?
    The paint sprayers available from the 1920s to 1960s would go through some unique evolution. Users could swap out paint sprayers to spray different colors with ease.
    People discovered they could use food dyes in paint sprayers, so smaller models were made for the kitchen. Fabric makers were using spray guns to apply fire retardants and other protectors.
    World War II would also create a unique future industry: automobile paint sprayers. Many soldiers involved in the painting of ships, trucks, and other vehicles would find themselves able to use the same type of equipment to paint vehicles in Detroit.
    This would eventually lead to the development of gravity and siphon sprayers, which would then lead to electric models.
    You can spray almost anything with a spray gun including nail polish, tanning spray, undercoats, stain, fire retardant materials, oil-based paints, lacquers, varnishes, latex paint, the list goes on and on.
    HVLP Paint Sprayer History
    Today the HVLP development, which started in the 1980s, has again changed the paint spraying industry. Results are more consistent and less screening is required to create results.
    The history of the spray gun has helped many people complete DIY projects with ease. Have you found the right sprayer for your next project?

    I am learning so much from yours and a few other channels I watch. The one thing I have seen is how an electric motor's insides look...I had not idea how simple they look just tightly coiled wires....I have no idea ATM just how an electric current makes them work...I will need to look that up. In addition...I went from liking sandblasting a lot to really enjoying the whole process from start to finished...also polishing things to shiny is my new favorite....

    These diaphragm compressors were designed for use with constant air paint spray guns and air brushes. They operate, when in top condition, at ABOUT 35 psi. Using a spray gun that stops air flow will degrade and ruin the RUBBER diaphragm. Great job bringing back a tired and forgotten unit. ;-)

  • @daveheath3728

    This is a great video , I'm glad i found it . I have a compressor exactly like this one that i have had for probably 40 years . I use it primarily for airbrushing model airplanes and cars . I have been wondering if it might need a new diaphragm , or what not . So far it has performed like a champ . Your video has provided a step by step disassembly and reassembly guide to help us not to have any parts left over after any maintenance procedures . Thanks for doing it . 😊👍

    Trying to watch your whole playlist, and just watched this one. So far, results wise, this one is on the top of the pile. You made it a really classy piece of shop equipment. And totally functional as well. As said below, I do much of my own work also, but try and avoid the electrical internals for the most part. Your efforts are well spent on this one as it turned out well more than it was in the original in new condition, and your efforts shine through.
    I will remember the heat shrink trick when I dive into the next piece of electrical gear.

    IIRC the original color would've been royal blue, natural aluminum, or an olive corrosion-resistant undercoat. A number of those units were OEM'd for Badger Airbrush; Thomas sold them under their own brand and OEM'd them for various medical and industrial users. Note the single piece connecting rod and piston - they were really proud of their "WOB-L" design back in the day...

    Hermoso modelo de compresor. Conocí uno marca crasmam. Y en ese taller pintaban autos con ese compresor. Eran portátiles. Y producían. 30 libras o poquito más. De aire. Soportaban una hora de trabajo continuo. Lastima ya no los fabrican. Era el año 1968. Ahora hacen los inútiles. Llamados compresor aerógrafos. Nomás escupen. Solo son para mini pintar. Ojalá volvieran

    great job friend
    but i have a question
    why you didn’t get the fan out to remove the rust?
    i saw you just cleaned it with alcohol,
    and i think you had to replace the old rings ball( i don’t know what’s it’s name in english)

    • @AJRestoration
      @AJRestoration  Před 2 lety +3

      The ball bearings were still in great shape. Also I did not have a bearing press plate thin enough to fit between the ball bearings and the cooling fan. I I would damage the fan to get the bearings off. Since the bearings were still in good shape I did not replace them. Also in order to properly clean the fan, I would have to sandblast it, and the sand would ruin the bearings, so I cleaned up the fan and stator the best I could and called it a day.

    Hope you did wear proper PPE when exploding that balloon. You are living a dangerous life....
