    Anyone seen this yet? Screw Grabber.

    Need help finding compressor parts.

    I've got an old 60 gallon Sanborn air compressor that kicks ***, but I'm pretty sure the valves need to be replaced really soon. The compressor is a T29 which isn't made anymore and I'm having trouble finding replacement valve plates. Anyone know where to look, or who I can call? Thanks

    It looks like a number of you have built garages or shops so I'm hoping you can give me an idea what I might be in for.
