I just bought a compressor pressure switch on Ebay after the elrctrical contacts in mine failed- - - -just make sure it's got the right setup of ports and the correct on/off pressure rating. They're not expensive, or complicated to install if you've got a little basic plumbing and electrical knowledge.

Did the pressure switch replacement on my big compressor early this year. Nor complicated at all. I think I got my switch off Amazon.
