Lanse just find and buy a used Curtis or Quincy two stage commercial compressor. I have bought two good ones in the last year for under $400. One way is to buy a 3 phase compressor and replace the motor with a single phase one. The 3 phase compressors usually sell cheaper than single phase ones.
You have been buying residential grade compressors. Buy a commercial grade two stage compressor and be done with it.

The conversions I have seen are usually for LARGE CFM compressors. I mean in the 30-40 CFM size. That usually also means 20-30 horse power electric motors turning them.
