CompAir 100 w8 compressor head on a Westinghouse air Brake co. Circuit breaker tank, help, can’t find parts!
I have a Westinghouse Air Brake Co. (WABCO) circuit breaker compressor, I just acquired. The tank has this info, and is also dated 1970. The motor is also a Westinghouse 2hp 20v single phase…. the compressor head is a v Twin 2 stage, with a tag that says:”CompAir co. Sydney, OH”
Model 100 w8I
I have searched to the end of the Internet trying to find it listed for parts, or a manual, or comparable compressor heads that utilize the same parts, but nothing! Any and all help would be SOOOOOOOOOO APPRECIATED!!!!

I think you might get something from any of either Westinghouse, LeRoi or Dresser if you ask.

Leroi-Dresser parts should work.
This would cross-reference to a smaller Leroi-Dresser compressor. 2hp is getting pretty small.
The smallest ones I worked on like this was a Leroi-Dresser 400, which is around 3hp I believe.
This is a superbly built unit, so it is well worth fixing.
New comment? New question? Please add it here along with photos to help others help you with your compressor and equipment problem!
“This is a superbly built unit, so it is well worth fixing.”
Does it require special tools to work on?
