Brought new in 1977 (one on the right),,, did not use from 1990 till 95 when I went to put it back in use it was locked up,,, so messed around and got the rings unstuck and it dropped a valve rite off the bat,,, thought all I needed was new valves so ordered up $300 dollars worth with the gaskets,,, found the cylinder cracked when i went to put it back together so ended up with another $500 in it for rings and a new cylinder...
This spring sum'n did not sould right so shut it down till I could get to it,, found the risk pin needle BRG bad on the high pressure piston,,, I have ordered the parts to fix it,,, around $120,,, it was very tempting to just buy a new compressor (compressor only) to replace it,,, $600 but found out they are now made in china.
