    Quoted from _litz:

    There are none in Georgia

    I picked up one at Fayetteville store in GA this afternoon....

    #52 7 years ago

    No luck here in So Austin.
    Kinda glad; because I don't know where I would have put it.

    #53 7 years ago

    None at the HD in Marple, Primos/Clifton Heights, or Folsom, PA. Picked up the last one in Vineland, NJ. Had to look on the top shelf often he racking. The guys there couldn't believe it was only $75.

    #54 7 years ago

    Well, there aren't any in GA anymore then ... I had the guy at the store do a statewide inventory search.

    Absolutely zero in stock. So if there's one in a store, it's not on the inventory.

    #55 7 years ago

    Checked Norristown and Pottstown PA and both had none. The one guy did tell me though that clearance items don't always show accurate inventory for other stores in their computers like normal stock items do, so it's better to check in person.

    Wait until next year when all the American refugees come flooding over the boarder. You are going to need a wall.

    Went to the local HD last night. They said its only avail online, not in stores. They dbl checked the inv and don't show any. Oh well. could have really used a new air compressor though. I think i have a hole in the tank on mine. Just haven't taken the time to verify

    Quoted from Insane:

    Call your local compressor shop.

    They will have many used tanks that you can mount your compressor head onto.

    For anybody wondering, the 10" $5.99 pneumatic wheels at Harbor Freight do fit. I used M10-1.5 x 70 mm hex cap screws. This also required new nuts. I wanted to get some bigger rubber feet, but couldn't find any locally. I ended up sandwiching rubber grommets (Lowe's item #423518) between the compressor and existing feet. I'm really not planning on this thing moving around much, but reading some of the HD reviews, more than 1 person has broken the valve at the bottom as a result of it being so close to the ground and the original wheels are pretty lame.

    Quoted from mcluvin:

    Come on Vid! You just pretend like it isn't you and keep going.

    Kinda funny and kinda sad. Checking out at HD today, the alarm goes off and the only guy going out the door didn't even flinch and just kept on going. They didn't follow him.

    #61 7 years ago

    I had to replace China bearings in my whirlpool washer and the dryer that were only 3 yrs old. Well I hauled ass to home Depot but they didn't have any left in my area, anyone who got one that was a heck of a deal.

    #62 7 years ago

    Northern Michigan is Sold Out.

    #63 7 years ago

    Went to my local Home Depot they said it shows we have one in stock but we probably don't that's as far as I got

    #64 7 years ago
    Quoted from aalucero:

    Probably up top high in the racks.

    #65 7 years ago

    Scored the last one in Windham , Maine a few hours ago.
    Many thanks for the tip !

    #66 7 years ago

    BTW: they couldn't find it on the top of a rack in a non-air compressor aisle , but I did. Then they said that they'd have to close the aisle and get a lift in order to get it. I said, "I'll wait." I don't really think the salesman wanted to give it up when he found out what it was selling for.

    #67 7 years ago
    Quoted from vid1900:

    All of you guys who have never had a compressor, you need to put moisture traps on the lines and drain the main tank:
    https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/vids-guide-to-ultimate-playfield-restoration/page/17#post-1699856
    DO NOT start using air tools (or especially paint gun) until you have the moisture trap on the line!!!!!

    As usual, good advice from Vid

    Hasn't happened in awhile, but I've been that guy several times over the years. I'd be happy to show my receipt if someone is standing there checking them (kind of like at Costco) but otherwise, I keep going, too.

    Couldn't find any near me...

    #69 7 years ago

    Checked 3 stores in my area (east Kansas City) and they they are sold out. They are showing them available on line , but at 50% off for $199 just like someone else said. Still a good price if your needing one.

    Quoted from aalucero:

    They didn't have someone look? Yeah, think the employee wanted it or already had it stashed. I found mine in the overhead, then confirmed the price with an employee who looked like they would probably have no interest in a 33 gallon compressor.

    I've had it happen to me a couple times where they didn't adequately clear the code on the item I purchased. I just don't want anybody assuming the worst as they generally don't assume the best.

    HF is having a 'parking lot sale' next weekend, those tires will be $4 each

    Thanks for the original tip, got one at the HD 5min from me!

    Quoted from miracleman:

    All the better, though I'm now thinking I may swap these out for 10" no-flats. Don't want it tipping over or breaking the lower valve because a tire went flat.

    #74 7 years ago

    And of course the parking lot sale also has the 50 ft retractable hose for $10 less than the coupon price. Ha!

    #75 7 years ago

    Got one picking it up today.

    #76 7 years ago

    Emeryville, CA Home Depot - $299.50 in store...

    Quoted from mcluvin:

    The $59 sale price on the retractable hose is a non- coupon offer so should be able to take another 20% off with coupon making it roughly $48. Great deal!

    #78 7 years ago

    I went to my local HD (SoCal) and they didn't have the air compressor in stock. The worker looked up the sku and said there were 3 in stock at a nearby store. I went over there and the female HD associate looks it up and snaps at me "It's an online only item". I politely asked her to check inventory and she said there were none in stock. I then went and found a manager and he confirmed that the inventory computer showed 3 in stock. We searched everywhere (high and low) and couldn't find any. I asked how the store supposedly had them in stock if it was an online only item. He said people buy them online and return them to the store. So, I asked what if I bought it online for $199 and returned it....how much would the instore price be? He gave me the head nod and said the computer would immediately mark the item as clearance and it would be sold for $75. YMMV

    #79 7 years ago

    So driving all day on my way back from SFGE I almost totally miss the parking lot sale. Ended up stopping at the HF in Ocala about an hour before closing. Turns out 20% off coupon doesn't apply to parking lot sale items. Oh well, 50 ft retractable hose was still a deal at $59 and they only had like 3 left.

    #80 7 years ago

    Anybody looking for air tools for their new compressor, Lowe's is blowing out a Kobalt 50 pc starter kit for as low as $17.78 in some stores. Unfortunately none near me or I'd sure as hell grab one.

    yeah, coupons can't stack or with sale prices. So the HF game is always determining which discount is better... the standard price -20% and that hassle.. or the sale price this week.

    Also, their online ads can often be cheaper than the shelf price.. so be watchful

    To rub salt in the wound they sent me some new coupons today, one being 50 ft retractable hose for $59. Ha!
