these compressors are meant to last for really high operating hours. i am not sure why my original one went bad. it would not build up to full pressure.

so, for me i chose to find a low use used one for a ton less money. new ones are incredibly expensive.

the thomas pump can be had or here is a thomas chinese clone that i looked at that seems interesting in that it is inexpensive.
