In checking out the compressor on my 2000 Optimax 150 I bought last year, I may have lucked out in that it may have already been replaced with the new improved one.
I read somewhere the new redesigned ones are black while the older ones were natural aluminum color. Mine is black. Is this correct?<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
