My 12V air compressor isn't blowing so I thought I'd see if I can fix it.
What a thing of beauty, the pressure gauge is incredible.







I'm thinking it needs a top end valve job, anyone done this?

No top end. It looks like all you need is some gaskets, and you're golden.

I greased the piston ring up with vaseline and a Q-tip and hey presto - it's pumping air.

Now I see that I also have a leak around the tire valve clip. Should be able to cut that off and replace with a generic valve clip.

Wasn't able to get into the seal on the high pressure side. It's all one-way manufacturing so if this doesn't fix it, I fear it's a bench ornament.

Any recommendations on after market 12V pumps?

I had one of these compressors many years ago. They were made by Inter-Compressor. Maybe if you search you might find one of these type for parts, etc.

Searching Ebay, I came up with this.
