I called Roger. The compressor worked like a million. The butterfly valve under the hopper was bent, from longtime use, so the sand came back down as fast as it went up. You really couldn't see it without a complete teardown. Sutkus and the guys re-engineered damper valve pretty well, and will re-install in the A.M. for another try, but, it sure looks like it's gonna send the sand up quick.
