In this video I finally get around to rescuing my old Harbor Freight (Central Pneumatic) air compressor. Originally, I thought the issue was a bad reed valve but that didn't sort the issue. In the end replacing the thermal overload switch (circuit breaker) sorted out the issue and got my compressor up and running again.
