Since we're making rocket surgery out of a simple plug replacement, I'll
throw in another option.
Get an extension cord with the same gauge wire as the current compressor
cord. Cut off the female end and wire it into the compressor.



No, he should buy a new compressor. ;~)


No ! .. buy a new compressor and take the cord from that new
compressor - install it on the old compressor - then -
- this is the important part -

- re-box the new compressor - perfectly - take it back for a
refund .. say that it was received as a gift and never opened.

Always wiling to help.
