> Spoke with MES today and upon further inspection of the unit and with age and the hours on the current unit. The compressor pump in the system needs to be replaced. The rings on the pistons are bad but also the cylinder walls have deteriorated due to age and hours on the machine. MES gave a rough estimate of $20,000 for a new compressor pump. <br>
