Media Cabinet...

[WILMASBOYL78]

My car buddy Gino wants to purchase a media cabinet for his shop...he has a pretty good sized air compressor and ample space. Told him I would see what you guys suggest...

Since he is only around the corner...I will now have a place to clean my stuff :naughty:

----I deal with Trinco as well. Good company to deal with. For me, it's local so I can drive down and get fresh media easily. Sand and glass would cost a fortune to ship!....Bill S

I bought a Trinco after using the economy cabinets. Nothing like using a proper blast cabinet.
LED bulbs help a ton.

Charlie, is that a KLH 32 on top of your cabinet??

[67since67]

This has served me well. Collector and compressor are in a separate room from cabinet, both small rooms separate from shop, to isolate dust and noise. Recommend LED lighting.

My cabinet is on wheels, I have on occasion rolled it outside and left the door open to blast long parts.

Media comes from NAPA.

I have a 36" Northern/Harbor Freight quality cabinet. If it's just for occasional hobby use, it is OK. I WISH I had a 48". If he upgrades anything, get a bigger size.
I've looked at those Scat cabinets a dozen times, but can't pull the trigger. Too many car parts to buy...:wink:
I have a 5 gallon shop vac for dust removal with HEPA filter bags to contain it. Nothing fancy, but it has hundreds of hours on it.
I buy glass and sand at Northern Tool. Harbor Freight sells media and also Tractor Supply. I have all of them nearby.

I have had a Scat Blast set up for at least 15 yrs or so, always works fine, maintenance parts easy and cheap to come by (nozzles and sight screens etc.) worth the $$

Have one. they don't leak (all the cheap one's seem to) works well. Make sure his compressor has a run-on valve.

I just sold my pair of JBL L100 speakers I bought new in 1974. They were the JBL answer to the KLH 33. This old stereo Stuff is bringing some serious coin lately. I have been using this Mac Blast 3-36X24 Dry Blast Cabinet made by Trin Mac Company out of Warren Michigan since I purchased it in 1989. Works flawlessly and parts are available locally for gloves, nozzles, screens, glass, and plastic protective sheets. I'd be lost with out it.

Man I would of love to have bought those speakers! Any vinyl?

[Big Block Bill]

I sold them on Facebook Marketplace. I didn't think Yenko.net was a place to list them. I like that it is a Collector / Muscle car forum only, but maybe anything from "Back In The Day" would have been proper listed in the Lounge? I'm Just Sayin'

Bill... What are my 33's worth ? I just look at them as old.

[Big Block Bill]

Charley, I asked $900.00 and got $800.00 for my L-100's. They were both gone through by JBL back in the early 80's and they replaced 1 woofer and 1 tweeter, and updated the grills to the later cloth design instead of the waffle foam style that was original that crumbled over time. They worked excellent but the cabinets were beer can stained (Go Figure), and needed to be refinished. At the time I looked on ebay before I listed them on Facebook market place, I saw an NOS pair in the box for $3000.00 I would think you should get $500.00 for the pair for your KLH 33's Bill

Dang, nice looking cabinet with many features. I like the 48" at $1,500, but the $250 shipping stopped me from ordering. 600 miles to go get it with the pick up, so the cost of fuel would be about the same...:frown:
Just came from the RM paint store yesterday and the estimate for the products and paint to finish the Camaro put a stop to other buying for this year.

Maybe start a thread on this in the lounge. I'm interested in this too. I have a pair of DLK's I bought new in '82 and they still look like new, having always been in my homes. No clue to the model, as the paper sticker released and fell off a couple decades ago...
