Vintage Air Compressor, Need a pressure switch

[greyboy]

I have a vintage air compressor made by the United Sates Air Compressor Company of Cleveland Ohio. The diaphragm in the pressure switch is leaking. I need to either fix the one I have or find a new one.

I have the switch taken apart but cant see how the diaphragm is held in place. Anyone ever work on one of these?

It's crimped in. Look at the sheet metal roll half way down the neck. There isn't a fix that I know of other than replacement. Repairing it could lead to shrapnel. There may be replacements out there. That I don't know.

That's what I'm afraid of. I've ordered a new pressure switch that I think will work but want to keep the vintage look. If anyone has a lone on old parts. (NOS preferably of course) that would be awesome.

Good luck with the search. Vintage is ALWAYS cool.

Try these people. They may have bought the company.
