I charge $50 + zincs. But like you've found, I'll only do it in the summer
anymore if I can help it. :-)
As to a small compressor to use to DIY. Any oil less compressor that can put
out 100psi or so will work. Look at the small ones Sears has.

You just hook up a longer hose with a the second stage of a regulator on it
to the compressor.
Or you can get a used scuba tank, any where from 13cuft on up to 80cuft or
more and setup a long hose on that.
Either setup will be a lot less than $775. :-)
