2nd Yong Heng dies, now what?

The issue with the Daystate 110 is that when sold by Coltri, it is a 3000 to 3500 psi compressor. the 4500 model is the #6, not the #3 which is what Daystate is offering that simply cannot live at that stress level. they do have the #6, but at a higher price that the actual Coltri offering.

Seems I need the tool for installing the high side rings on the Y.H. Where can I get one? I'm told it makes installing them without it can cause damage to them. 

The dealer that said he was mailing the rings and part to me, (4 different times now) has sent nothing. GRRRRRR!!!!! I had a lot of faith in the Guy!

My head is spinning trying to decide on a new compressor. The Airetex looks intriguing BUT with support coming from just a one man shop gives me concerns should I need parts and the shop is no longer in business. Based on feedback here I will likely cross the Daystate off my list. Alkin and Bauer are way out of my price range Coltri seems like the next logical choice but it too is priced out of budget.

Omega Air Charger and AV-4500 look promising with decent parts support from AOA and PA, but in reality are they both just glorified Yong Heng's in sheep's clothing? I could buy 5 more Yong Hengs and treat them as disposable units for the money I'd have in a Omega or AV4500.  All I know is that I need air NOW for some much needed lead therapy.

Look at it this way: For a penny under $2000+ you aint getting a reliable 4500psi compressor, thats the fact (and for you naysayers please show a compressor running 4-6hours daily and holding up for more that 2+ years at 4500psi output!) You can get close but not SCUBA reliable, that takes you into the $2100+ market.

Work an hour overtime 2-3 times a week and in a year and a half you can buy a Coltri MCH-6 compressor and be set for life.

Now you can start earng back money by filling for others!

"thats the fact (and for you naysayers please show a compressor running 4-6hours daily and holding up for more that 2+ years at 4500psi output!)"

4 to 6 hours per day? For an air gun shooter??

My Yong Heng has been used to top off to 4400-4500 for nearly 3 years now and has never failed to perform as needed.
