You probably overlooked this, I did, Dry Cleaners all have large air compressors.
After driving through the one I use many times I finally noticed he had three out back with only one working, on my next
trip I went inside and ask the owner about the other two, he said they were broken!, I picked them up for 400 bucks.
Got my trailer, loaded them up and took them to a local air compressor shop where I made a deal, I would give them one of the compressors if they would rebuild the other, done deal, they were both good quality cast iron, 220V, twin cylinder.
10 years later and still going strong.
