It's sad that current tech is built to last only till the day the warranty runs out.. my old man's air compressor is 50 years old now, runs up to 200psi, and it's only needed 1 motor change in the last 50 years. They definitely don't make them like they used to.
I have a Quincy QT-54 2 stage 60 gallon compressor. I installed a magnetic motor starter so that 110v is opening/closing the pressure switch instead of the 220v. This is better for the pressure switch and usually makes them last longer. You can buy a magnetic motor starter for around $75 and they are easy to install. It maybe something to consider if you have another pressure switch failure.
By a better pressure switch,, square D makes a good one with a lever switch, but best to put a toggle switch and not use the one on pressure switch all the time.
I was questioning the quality of those condor pressure switches. It's the same one on the 60 gal kobalts and Campbell hausfeld compressors..I read they were cheap and not the quality they use to be a few years ago..sucks they did that with how much these cost. Doesnt make me wanna give them my money, along with other ways they cut cost of manufacturing down.
Bummer, been researching Dewalt compressors too. I bought a Quincy for my nephew, so far so good, but after reading some of the nightmares other people have gone thru...not sure I want to trust getting another QT-54.
Get a magnetic starter, your running blast cabinet and i bet that compressor was kicking on constantly. The points were probably burnt the F up. Its not hard to wire up. You will run your ground and 1 hot leg from motor to starter, then run your other hot leg to your curent switch biggity bam no more issues.
What really in 2021 is a real good 80 gallon compressor anyways? Who truly makes a very good one? I think imo a $6000.00 compressor can have shit wrong with it also i really think the way these are now running at crazy rpm and why they all fail some just last little longer then others just luck dependant but seriously somebody tell be a great brand 80 gallon 5hp to buy

Hey good to see a video from you! Looking forward to seeing you work on the Mustang.
hahah " once you find your spring! " we've all done it.
The great thing about compressors is they are super easy to fix.

That sucks i hate when that happens seems like more money we pay the cheaper things get

Tragic...a purchase this pricey is with buying an extended warranty.

Do you have enough pressure at the sand blaster with such a long line? 3/8" line?
Better to have it fail in the safe mode rather than it run away.

"Assembled" in the USA
