Looks like my regulator needs a new diaphragm and parts may be no longer available.

That said, if I replace the regulator, I obvious need a 200+ PSI max pressure (175 PSI Pump), and will probably stick with 3/8 fittings just to make it easy and skip adapters.
So the last spec is the flow rates.
They seems to come in 47, 80, 120, and 140 CFM.
Given normal home garage air tool and rarely more then one at a time, what do people recommend?
Looking at a few charts, it seems that for the larger common tools , (Impact guns, air die grinders and sanders; they need up to 10CFM at a 25% duty cycle.
That tell me a single tool can flow 40 CFM. I am guessing a 80, should be fine.
Thoughts?
