<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">Thanks all for the advice. Turned
out the regulator is ok, but the plastic knob is connected via
some very shallow splines on the stem, and doesn't connect
well. I wrapped the stem with Teflon tape and it works ok, but
I need to find a better way. I'll check at my favorite
old-fashioned hardware store for a knob.</font></p>

<div>Is that the regulator knob? Might be stuck or broken
inside. A picture of what you're looking at would help - the
online parts diagrams I found look like one of those joke
lists from the 80s that had been faxed a hundred times.</div>

<p><font size="2" face="Tahoma">I have a very old small air
compressor that compresses ok, but I no longer can get
it to send air to the outlet. There is a hand valve
between the gages that turns ok, but doesn't open the
valve. It doesn't close it very well, either. The knob
turns fine, and bottoms out in both directions, but
nothing happens. Is it possible to buy a replacement?
I'm hoping it's just a simple remove and replace.</font></p>
