My dad bought this thing new I want to say in the late 90's and it's been perfect for running air tools/plasma cutter/all the home garage shit I've needed it for.
In the past year I've "rebuilt" the heads with new gaskets and valves and then sure enough the pressure switch failed. I have searched and put in a few inquiries out to parts suppliers but I'm thinking I won't be able to find one that's made for this without a lot of retrofitting and then I'll be waiting for the next part to break.
Have air compressors come a long way since this thing was built? Should I just buy something new and comparable, if so, what's a good choice? I'd like to keep it under $800.
Came across this Husky C304H ($649, local pickup) which seems like an upgrade:
- 5.7CFM
- 24 gallons
- max PSI 135
