Nice rebuild and a good price for someone looking for a serious air supply! I had to replace my Roots Model 33AF (a smaller blower than this one) a few years ago and it was almost as much for just the bare blower. These days I would think a blower set up like this with everything you are offering would easily be in the $2500 range if not more. I have not priced any of the accessories for these lately, but when I replaced the blower I also bought the air silencer housing (filter housing) for it and I do remember the silencer housing alone was over $100 + the cost of the filter element. And that was a few years ago.

This is the kind of care and attention to detail that I like to see when someone rebuilds or reconditions a piece of used neon equipment and offers it for sale. Good luck finding a new home for it!
