New on-off switch for my 35 year old Speedair compressor
This is a replacement on-off compressor switch for my Speedair air compressor. The Furnas brand original switch on my 35 year old compressor wore out the contacts in the on-off switch and I had to replace it. I looked on line and the reviews for this switch were OK, and it was much less expensive than a new Furnas or Square D switch, so I am giving this one a try to see just how long it will last. For the price, I can replace several of them for one of the original ones. It will just be a hassle switching them out should this switch not last too long. It would be much more convenient to be able to buy just the replacement contacts for the original switch, but I could not find a set of replacement contacts, and I had to buy the complete switch. I know how to remove the contact block and hold the spring loaded unloader valve in place to reassemble it, so it would not be a problem to just replace the contacts if I could find them. With the throw-away thinking of today's mentality, the switch companies want you to have to buy a complete switch, not just replacement contacts. Only time will tell if it will last. Stay tuned on that issue.
