I have a small Central Pneumatic pancake compressor and need new reedvalves. Where do I go for parts?

I have two Central Pneumatic compressor's. The small .25hp oilless started to blow fuses and the 1.75hp 4G pancake started to get oil in the air tank and smell strong of oil.

No joke I went into the local Harbor Freight TODAY and asked them if they could do anything for me and without receipt I was able to get store credit for both of them. I replaced them with higher end models of the same brand and purchased the extra 3yr replacement warranty.

I do not use my compressors for much, simply around the house use and the small one is used for cleaning dust off electronics in the field.

I'm extremly impressed with their service and taking back both of my air compressors.

Central Pneumatic I am sure is not the most quality built compressor and for those that use them for work everyday you might consider a more name brand. However H.F. replacement plans are excellent.

yes. i have a model 38898 pancake compressor. bought new in feb. 2008. havent used it much. only for a brad nailer. only pumps up to about 50 lbs. now. and wont shut off. gasket is blown and reeds are worn.. a real piece of junk. ill never buy from harbor freight again. i called them and all they could say was call the parts number and buy new parts. a true ripoff
