Sears has sales on them every so often. I picked up an upright 20
gallon 5.5 HP model for about $200 when they were upgrading to the 6
HP models. A basic sandblaster unit can be had for about $60. I
haven't bought one of these yet, but some of the folks here note that
the gravity feed units don't work quite as well as the pressure fed
units with the sealed hopper. For a minor project I think that the
more basic units could be useful for a one off project.

Eventually I'm going to get the whole kit and caboodle for sand
blasting. Having armored vehicles sort of necessitates that.
