Everything runs smoothly as intended. The only thing missing is the
pressure switch, which I ordered but which has not yet arrived. The
amps are now within spec, after the shaft end play correction and
proper belt tensioning.
This compressor will be offered for sale. West Chicagoland area.

Nice Job, I don't know how you just sell your hard work. Anything I worked
that hard on is mine for life.
Say, I lived in LaGrange and then Naperville 30 years ago. What suburb are
you in?

Thanks. It comes with practice. Most things that I worked on, in fact,
I kept. But I cannot have a horizontal compressor due to space
reasons. If it was vertical, I would sell mine and keep this one, as
this one is quieter and has more throughput (2 stage) than my single
stage Curtis.
Note that I also did some work on my Curtis (motor swapping).
I thought about putting this 2 stage head on my Curtis, but I do not
think that it will fit because of flywheel size.

Lisle, it is between these two.

You can always pour a slab outside the garage, and make a little
lean-to style shed over the compressor. That gets the noise and heat
totally out of the garage, and 'floor space' is not an issue.

You can also put cabinets above a horizontal compressor, or elevate the
compressor and put storage below it. I once saw a big honkin' compressor
located under someone's deck and supporting a couple large barely
fitting CNC machines in the former garage.
