In this case, the drain valve on bottom had
gotten open most of a turn, and was leaking
air. Once I figured that out, closed the
valve and the unit runs perfectly again.

That, at least, should have been a "no brainer" unless you are stone
deaf.

Hi,
I think he has ringing ear problem?, LOL!

Drained mine and found it really needed it. I leave my drain on the
external regulator slightly open, so it automatically drains and releases
all the pressure when I turn the compressor off. I can hear the hiss when
compressor is off.

WHY do you do that????

Hi,
To end up with pile of broken pancake compressors?, LOL!
I have a Campbell Hunsfeld Extreme duty belt driven one.
Main use is working on cars(tire change), blowing irrigation
system in the fall. Lasted many years.
But the new consumer grade CH compressors are pretty much the same
chinese crap that HF sells.

Probably same factory, different paint job.

Hmm,
Some one(may be you) drained the tank and forgot to close it?
Do you have memory lapse problem lately?, LOL!

Memory problems. Like forgetting that the
compressor "rides with me in the van" and
gets roughly thrown in, and tumbled around
when I hit the brakes? That kind of memory?
Some people don't have reading comprehension.

I'm on my second HF tire inflator. It's about had it. It's the one with the
dial. The hose is cracking, and the dial has the internal paper back that's
bending almost hitting the pointer. Should I buy another ? So handy when it
works.

Sounds like you got plenty of use and value.
I'd watch for sales, and then use a 20% coupon.
Yes, buy another.

For less than the price of 3, you could have purchaced a good one
that would still be working 10 years from now (assuming there is still
a good one available in your market)

My first car was a 1970 Chevrolet Nova. Yours?

A '53 Chevy I bought for $10. I put a new generator, regulator and a
6 volt battery in it. Ran great. The tires held air. In those days
you could drive alone during the day at age 14, at night with a
licensed driver aged 16.

Geez and I thought I was older fossil then you... I've always lived in the
North so they got a clamp on everything. Used to drive farm tractors,
backhoes, etc but no speed to them. I am like a dog, the wind whistling past
me deaf ears.

I think I've got 3-4 years out of one.

I probably bought a HF air hose. It's orange. Holdin up, but the HF
fittings are just ok. The orange hose is attached to my blue hose. I bought
the blue hose at pace warehouse back in the 80s.

piece. Still unused. Here is the other......
