***Official price for the ShoeBox compressor will be 390 dollars***

They have a NPT version as well.

I am assembling the proper rated fill hose kits complete with gauge. I will have pics up shortly. Safe...cheap...done...

Hey Tuna, for those of us planning to fill SCUBA's too, a male-to-male quick disconnect fitting would be useful too. It would go between the hose and the SCUBA fill adapter.

I'll have my hoses sorted out this week. most likely by thursday so I can do the fill thing.

[Oddux]

I'm curious, for all those asking to get one, what is the best way to contact the sellers, or what/where would they ask to be considered for the first batch. There are a lot of folks eager and to put something official down would definitely save some headaches (especially for the seller).

Only stipulations on getting one is being mechanically inclined and be an active member here on AO. The forums are going to be used as a RnD whiteboard to get whatever gremlins that might still be looming (if any).

O'ya. And don't be that guy when something goes south on the compressor. Reason why he wants people mechanically inclined. The compressor is easy to work on from what I seen at TB4. All you need is very basic tools.

My scuba adapter has the same male QD fitting as my tanks...standard Female QD is provided.

I missed talking to Tom at LL3. If I had talked to him, I would have told him not to wear the Vents as well

I did talk to the guys at the table. The "maintenance" is almost nothing. I hesitated because, I think I really want just a 3K and all they had were 4.5K. I'm sure had I talked to Tom, he would have sold me. Now I'm regreting not pulling the trigger.

ok well i'm really considering this even though i need to see if i can justify it or talk some friends into playing around on our own hahahahah.

is the first batch ship able or is it local pick up kind of thing only?

[ElPanda]

TK what is the maintenance expectation for the shoebox? how often will it need breakdown and under what conditions? Also I hope someone creates a tutorial thread for said maintenance.

That is really the only factor I am worried about

other than that fantastic job on the price way cheaper than I expected, cant wait to get mine

Ninja Fill Whip won't work

At LL3 this Sunday, I was talking to Ray from Ninja. He said that a Ninja Fill Whip would not work even if you were to change the male fitting to a female fitting. The hose is not rated for a constant 4.5K psi. However, he did say he was working on a hose that would work with it.

Tuna hook me up

I ended up picking one up at LL3

Since I flew I took it to Fed ex and swaddled it like a baby and bubble wrap and then packed it up tight and sent it ground to my house.

Once I get it I will need the hose setup from Tuna. For sure I need one for a regular tanks.

Tuna can you make one to fill a 4500 reated Fire Man SCBA Tank?

What?? TK trained me to be Beemer Mays. Was there any questions I didnt answer for you?

Did I not say I had one for you ready to go. No shipping? Dont regret it to long. Get on the list and we can ship you one.

I am only going to provide the Female QD on the tank end...you will have to reduce it or configure it to work on the SCBA valve/fittings. If I knew what valve you had I could figure it out.

[shives007]

Sorry, Beemer. You did a great job selling it.

and everyone buying a compressor be sure to go pick up a spray can of white lithium grease. That is the recommended lube.
