Thanks, John. I know a number of guys using those machines, so I've passed on the warning.

Another list of Compressor Model Numbers from CPSC

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has a different set of model numbers. No idea why.

I noticed some didn't match so I referred people to the CPSC site as well.

Interesting that if you take a look at the CPSC site's list of recalled tools (drills to tables saws, etc.), you may find more than one ticking bomb in your shop.
