Rol-Air compressor

Need a quick and temporary fix as my small shop compressor is not holding pressure and the pistons sound like they are swapping holes. Came across what may be a good deal on a 'Rol-Air' 2 stage, oil lubricated, dual tank, engine driven protable compressor that puts out about 16-24 cfm. Browsed online but unable to find anything on who manufactures the compressor and whether or not parts are available. Appears company ' Associates Engineering' out of Wisconsin distributes it but unfortunately it's Friday and the company is not open on weekend to inquire. Compressor will not be available over the weekend. Thought i would check see if member familiar with brand, or input appreciated.

Rol-Air is a reputable brand. Parts are generaly available although don't know how soon they obsolete them. I see you are on the west coast so you should be able to find a dealer in the yellow pages. I would go for it Dave.
