Can Anybody Identify This Compressor? Switch Issue

I need some help identifying this compressor. A buddy and I share this shop and the compressor is acting up. It just keeps running. I manually turn it off around 190 PSI. The label is gone and the numbers on the tank plate are worn completely off. We just put a new Baldor motor on, so it's worth fixing.

So can anybody tell me the make and model? Or possibly how to adjust the pressure switch? Thanks!

looks like a standard pressure switch find one with the same size ****** on the bottom and make sure it has the bleed off (valve/ small hose on the side)

I think it is a charge air. I can barely make out the faded "CHAR" on the label. I found some similar online. I appreciate the info. Bought a switch from my local compressor shop for $50. Bad news was the adapter fitting below the switch practically disintegrated. I looked at some old Charge Air parts lists and the fitting has been discontinued. Instead of going on a snipe hunt, I ended up getting a 1/4-18 NPT tap and drilled out the block and tapped for a 1/4-18 ******. Works like a champ now.
