Omega Omega Air Charger AC-1a

[Centerfire]

After 4 years of use on 480cc bottles and 186cc tubes (183fills, 2-3 minute each) I had an air leak to find. The usual suspects of the o-ring in the coupler or a loose fittting were all checked and ok.
What I found was the Filter Body #125 where the Bleed screw screws into the #130 Exhaust nut needed to be removed, cleaned, and inspected.
I found that the #129 exhaust valve gasket (black plastic plug with a hole in it ) was not shutting off the air.
Waiting for vendor advice on parts but wnted to know if anyone else has had this problem? Are parts available? O-Ring and ball bearing not shown on drawing.

Hey man! Did you ever find parts for your compressor? Was hoping to hear you've got it fixed.

Goodmorning, Yes I did, sort of! Placed an order and the parts are shipped to me.
I just ran a Holiday Tracking of USPS and the parts I ordered are in route to me.
They (USPS) say delivery by this Thursday.
Then inspection of the parts will be conducted and if correct I was planning on letting you know.
Do you have a Omega compressor situation?

No I do not have one but was concerned my fellow air gunner was still down. Great to hear the news about the parts being delivered Thursday. Godspeed on the repair!

Parts received, inspected, installed. The AC-1a is not leaking anymore at the bleed screw.
Thanks to AOA parts department.
