I bought this about 8 years ago. Not much use at all until I retired recently and have started to learn modeling. The specs read that I could put out up to 56 PSI but the most I can get it to (turning the adjust knob) is about 25. So I’m starting Q&A here hoping to get some direction.
I have searched the web but it seems they may be outta business? All I could find is this PDF.
Hokey,
The compressor without an AB attached won’t show max pressure on the pressure gauge! What airbrush are you using, is it attached? Put your finger over the outlet of the compressor - does the pressure increase? After 8 years, there could be a problem with the compressor but - more details!
Thx for helping Bick! I did have an airbrush attached. Iwata Neo.
But, I’ll do the finger test tomorrow and provide info. Will advise.
Thayer & Chandler is out of business. Badger acquired them through litigation.
IDIOT ALERT! When trying the finger over the hose end (brush detached), I discovered - hissing - that the nifty “qwik” connect fitting was loose! Tightened that up and poof - right to 50 psi if needed!
I realized that I couldn’t differentiate from the slight “hissing” air noise coming out of bottom of the trap and the hissing from the loose fitting.
I feel like I just made of those “have you turned it on?” phone calls to tech support!
Thanks…
