Buy a "oiled" compressor. The oil-less ones run very loud, and don't have the life span of the traditional oiled one. I have an oiled 'black' craftsman one that I have flogged over and over for several years. Including running it continuously for hours on end without stopping. It has never let me down.

While the fan guard and tank color is a newer style, the basic motor design is probably the same as one they made in the 60s. Splash oil lubrication.
