Thanks again guys. As I was doing this I realized that my daughter had accumulated some stuff when she went to college to get a degree in art (it morphed into a degree in psych, but that's a whole 'nother story!). Anyway, as the official storage depot for my kids accumulated junk, I rooted through her art stuff and came up with some goodies. One thing she has here is an unused Paasche VL airbrush kit. It's double action. So I thought well, I can get a Paasche H single action and then maybe try the VL. Also found a couple air compressors--one small chinese thing and one genuine Sears Craftsman 1/2HP. No fittings or other needed stuff but both seem to work. So cool! Now I can at least experiment at less expense.
I really appreciate hearing from all of you taking time to respond. I hope I can return the favor at some point. Much appreciated!
