Air Compressor

[73novaguy]

Alright, well how bout this. I have a freind who has a 60 gallon horizontal tank and compressor that I could get for next to nothing ($75) it is a 2 stage compressor but it needs a motor. Is it worth going through the effort to get a rebuilt motor for this setup. the brand of the compressor is Marathon (I've never heard of em) and it used to be an industrial compressor which ran on three phase! Could a regular 220 motor work? He said the motor mounting plate is drilled for various motor hook ups! What do you think of that? Knowing what I know about 220 motor and 3 phase (which is nill) I am gonna need some help on this!!
