My air compressor is a two-cylinder, oil lubricated, Sears model, from 1965 -- the same year I was born.  

My Dad got it from his Dad, and now I have it.  I think it is a 12 gallon model, that shuts off at 110 PSI, restarts at ~80 PSI.  Don't know the flow rate, just know that it meets my basic needs (tires, dusting, and now soda blasting), and I am very glad I have it.  You won't regret getting an air compressor, as long as you get one with some volume of storage, and the air flow to meet your needs.

if you plan on getting air tools for it (impact wrench, hammer/chisel, nailer, etc.), then you will need to educate yourself on air tools, and compressors, and that is beyond me (some air tools require oil in the air flow to lubricate them, some require dry, clean air, like for painting -- it can get somewhat complicated).  Sorry.  The good news is that some Internet searching will likely tell you all you need to know.  Cheers!
