Last night I was squeezing some rivets for the F-705 seatback bulkhead. Things were humming along when the air compressor cycled on to re-charge the tank. It ran for a minute or two while I kept squeezing rivets. Then I heard "CLUNK! ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" from the compressor. I ran over to it and shut it off using the external master switch. I gingerly turned it back on and got nothing. Hmmmm, wait 20 minutes for it to reset. I turned it on again and heard "zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee".
I pull the top of the shroud open. Some cracked and broken parts fell out. Nuts
The thoughts that go through your head at that moment are interesting - JB Weld? Duct tape?
A few minutes later my wife came out and saw my greasy hands, looked at the broken parts, and me staring at the compressor. "Looks like you'll be getting a new air compressor. Happy father's day."
