Default airbrushcity 1601

Hi! I'm brand new to airbrushing. I just purchased the 1601 compressor from airbrushcity.com. It's supposed to have a pressure regulator on the moisture trap, but can't seem to figure it out. The "instructions,' if that's what you want to call them, says there's a locknut on the bottom of the moisture trap, but I got nothin'. Anyone have this compressor? Am I missing a part? Is there another way to control the psi?

I would ship it back and get my money back and head over to sears or your local hardware/home center and purchas a general purpose compressor. You will most likely be upgrading to something better in the next week or 2 so cut your looses now and return it while it is still new. Sorry for being so negitive but have seen this to many times..

I got a ABcity compressor it heated up after 45 min. to an hour and shut down i'm waiting for them to ship out another one.If it happens again you can bet your --- i'm gonna get my money back. I agree with Aixguy and Bahamut if you got the chance get another one.
