    Shoebox Compressor help?

    My Shoebox compressor is no longer compressing- or at least, not nearly as much as it did. I'm sure it's time- probably long past- for a set of O-rings, of which I have a set. I was, however, given to understand that Kaye was going to at least keep selling rebuild parts, but the site has nothing but a logo and a notice it's closed. No links anywhere.

    Anyone know of anyone selling the rebuild parts? A quick Googling just shows other people looking, too.

    I'd rather keep this thing working than replace it with a ChiCom knockoff.

    I know the orings he used are the same as the mag orings so you should be good there. I would just measure them up and order the appropriate ones from agd.

    you are also likely going to want to watch his videos.

      I figured the O-rings would be easy, but I thought the "pistons" needed to be periodically replaced as well.

        I know the plastic guides need to be changed periodically, but it has been awhile since I had a shoebox.
