So finally managed to get my system installed and running about 3 weeks ago.

Compressor and manifold all anchored in place per Bill's recommendation I put a piece of rubber conveyor belt under the pump between the stand and it and also made rubber washers to to on the bolts on the bottom side. The system is pretty darn quiet, much quieter than my dads piston compressor system. The only thing that is noisy about this setup right now is the gauge... Somehow it is making an intermittent rattling sound that goes away if you walk over and touch it. So I will be looking for a liquid filled gauge to replace this one.


Hard to see on such a small picture but the deep diffuser is just to the right of the tree at the left side of the frame and the shallow diffuser is just to the left of the two trees towards the right hand side.
