I am progressing with the Luchard compressor, did a 220 psi hydraulic pressure test on the receiver to see whether it was worth continuing, which turned out ok. The pressure switch is a nice unit but I'm thinking of putting modern controls on for safety and because the reliability of 60 year old vital parts is always going to be questionable, particularly the old insulation! I'll retain all the bits on the machine, just not wired up. Ditto the safety valve!.
