But just for the record, the link you gave is a setup for an air filter + lubricator, meaning it gives oils. Good for air tools, not good for our AB's.
Thanks again.
- I am not having much success lately with compressor advice
I admit I just did a quick search and looked at the pictures and didn't read the text - sorry for that
I've never even heard of the need to lubricate the air flow before - it's always been the other way round

Anyway, to carry on down my own personal road to Hell paved with good intentions, I took some photos of my one.



I bought the regulator separately and it is just screwed together in line with regulator that was on the compressor teflon tape in the threads. I added a quick release widget as well.

The filter is made in Poland and cost in the region of 25-30$ IIRC. If you still have problems, it's no big deal to get one and send it to you - the shop is close by my home.

What really shook me when taking the photos was what has collected n there already with really quite limited use and I regularly drain the main airtank to avoid corrosion! Can you imagine if that crap had got on the model!?!?
