I currently have a Testor AC700 compressor that is supposed to be an all in one deal. I don't know whether it's my airbrush or the compressor, but for some time now, the spraying has been very erratic with the occasional shot of water. I am tired of this compressor and I would like to get a QUALITY compressor that will last me for a while and will not give me headaches.

I have a Tamiya HG Superfine airbrush and the Testors Aztek 4709? airbrush. Any help and possible part numbers (also for other parts that I would need such a moisture trap if it doesn't come with one) and place to buy from would be GREATLY appreciated. I have halted the hobby for several months due to being majorly disappointment in how it sprays (and ruining a paint job) and I would like to get back into it again. Thanks!

Thanks! I ended up drilling a hole through my card and getting the Iwata Power Jet compressor. Hopefully I will not have another compressor problem anytime soon!
