I have a FERO Air Pump manufactured between the early 1900s and late 1930s. According to Arnie Fero his grandfather started the company and GULF had a contract to supply 100s of these compressors to dealers. I am restoring one cosmetically (it still runs perfectly) and would like to learn if any readers know anybody that has one of these units.
I am a new guy to this board so I'm sorry if I am bringing up a subject that has already been discussed previously. I will post a picture of this compressor in a day or two and the information to Arnie Fero's web site Arnies Atomic Engines Fero Air Pumps with pictures of these compressors.
My compressor came from a Gulf station in Palatka Florida; I've had it 25 years. It is an uprite compressor with the motor and compressor above the receiver. It is 2 cylinder with intercooler, 1.5 HP (?), and has a riveted and welded receiver. It might weigh 500 #. The motor is 220 volt single phase. The compressor RPM is about 900.
I'm looking for any FERO information and especially any literature and original color. I will get a 12 inch Gulf decal available online and Arnie Fero has the Fero decals.
