Hi.
Well I just ordered my new 155 Anthem from an online store and now I am going to need to replace the cheapo Elephant shaped compressor I have with something a bit quieter and more powerful. Can any of the finew folks here recommend a relatively low cost decent quality semi-quiet compressor that would work well with the 155? Thanks for any help.

Rich,
I use a Campbell-Hausfeld with a 1 gallon tank from Walmart (less than $100) with my 150. Only been using it for a year, but no problems.
Is that the little pancake compressor? If so is it set up so you can add a regulator and moisture trap unit?
Ah…sorry, not the pancake compressor. I’ve actually got the 2-gallon tank (it looks small in person) with the oilless compressor. Built-in regulator. It’s quoted at about $100. I see that there’s also a 3-gallon unit, with a bunch of attachments plus the built-in regulator. This one is quoted in the $80 range, but can’t determine if it’s oilless or not. I know I’ve seen either the 2 or 3 gallon recently at Walmart…it appears to be a regularly stocked item. Not sure about the pancake unit.
As for the moisture trap, I’m fortunate to not need one, but from what I’ve read they don’t appear to be hard to install inline with the airhose.
Thanks for the additional info. I purchased a combination Regulator/Pressure Guage/Moisture trap a few days back on the off chance that I get stuck using my silver elephant and was just wondering if it would be useful on that compressor.
