Hello,

I know that I am resurrecting a 19 year old thread, but the site rules force new users to make forum posts before they are allowed to PM.

Hank, do you have any information about the USACo Model HA 2-cylinder compressors from about 1928 that you could share?

I just bought one of these, in fairly good shape (looks like original paint to me), with an apparent valve problem (clicking sound and won't make more than 5 psi), and I need to fix it, but would prefer not to break it (bad habit of mine going back to childhood).

Please let me know if you can tell me anything, or if you know of any sources of information or parts.

Thanks,

- Eric
