Just wanted to know what can we do for to get parts for our shoeboxes after Tom runsout. Just got a email from him saying that once parts are all gone that they are not making anymore. Just trying to see if I need to start saving money for a new compressor or not

Shoebox compressor parts
- Thread starter shaunmiller78
- Start date
I purchased spares now just in case...
I know the o rings can be had from anywhere. Just need the right sizes. But the bushings are what's needed also.
Unless someone 3d prints the bushings then we would be good to go. I dont think the pistons/cylinders need replacement.

Maybe we should ask if he is willing to open source the parts specs so the community can make the parts and keep the compressors going.

Yes that’s exactly what I was thinking. I know it’s a lot of people on here that can do it.

That would be great. I'd hate to retire my Shoebox. It's still working great after 7 years.

I have an older belt driven model, what parts should I think about getting? I’ve ordered o rings. Thanks!

This would be a great idea. Maybe get a petition going or send a nice email and see what he says.

Probably this has to do with it :

Sad news. I have an original chain model that is 7 years old and has served me very well. Only needed the periodic o-rings replacement every 80 hours or so. Apparently the YH is doing well enough, for the price, for a good number of fellow airgunners. Just my opinion.

without getting under his skin or revealing my email discussions with him it might be productive to see how many pre-orders we could get for a new final run of those machines
I would take 2 of them and lots of spare parts
it might take 100-125-150 orders before he would do a final run
perhaps we could get a law firm to hold the money until machines are build as this would entail
a expenditure of about 75 grand in USA dollars
if my oil stocks did not go to zero I would be in for 30 of them to resell later
this way another hundred shooters would have a lifetime of fun rather than just repair those already made
I know the chances are small but one can always hope, I just missed the final order by 1 day and wish I could have acted quicker
he is a man of many talents and interests and this is not a primary focus anymore, wish we would have been given notice of a final run and most would have jumped on that bandwagon
if not I might be a new hill compressor next year but at least his product worked

My original thought was I would be in for 2, but at what pricing?
At 500 a piece I might be down for 4.
Great idea.

I got one of these to check out for a backup for the one I have https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001017097781.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1bac4c4d3Pgadq

Other than the couple oring replacement kits that I already have, any recommendations on specific parts that can't be obtained elsewhere to keep a F10 running for as long as possible?

Apparently they have been selling off all their parts. All they have left are o ring kits and some misc items.. wish they would give us an option to buy parts somewhere else.

Does anyone have a source for the stainless airlines and fittings? I have a belt driven max model. Maybe Grainger or McMaster Carr ?
Thanks,
