After some diligent searching I finally found something to replace the Craftsman compressor with. Since money is a little tight at the moment I went for the used, cheap, CL route and found this old U.S. Air Compressor for $200. It's a 60 gal MK6611 model. Manufacture date.......1955! It has a newer GE motor and it runs like a sewing machine!
It's a night and day difference when I use my blast cabinet now. The pump is a beast (see beer bottle for reference). It's not pretty but it does the job well for minimal cash. One other nice thing is that there's still support for this thing if it ever needs a rebuild.
