Can’t seem to locate a tag on that table saw and honestly when I bought it, I don’t recall seeing it, so I’m sure it’s long gone. Where would it have been location wise?

The air leaking out of the tower could be one of two things could be a cracked old brittle diaphragm gasket or the disc valves, leaking pressure back into the cylinder from the tank. Those disc valves act as the check valve so on a non-modified Quincy Compressor QR series there is no check valve...
So that compressors unloaders do not operate off oil pressure as that compressor is not pressure lubricated. It is operated off of centrifugal weights that close a normally open valve. When the compressor gets up to speed, it closes the valve and that turn stops the pressure to the unloaders and...
