Quincy Air Compressor Help needed

Spoke to Pacific Air Compressor on Friday. They aren't a distributor for Quincy anymore, but are for a sister company, and aren't supposed to sell any Quincy parts anymore. But he asked me to text me some photos of the unit and was going to see what is available. He also told me the most likely failure is the con rod/crankshaft joint has probably galled and seized. Apparently with aluminum rods, they don't use bearings there anymore. There would be some chance that they could be polished and re-used, but didn't sound too hopeful.

Since I hadn't heard back from Pacific, I called the "local" (about an hour away in one of those big cities I try to avoid) Quincy distributor and talked to the service manager. He called me back an hour or so later and said the pump itself is $430, plus tax and shipping, and they usually recommend replacing the check valve at the same time for another $25. There would be another $3-400 in labor if they installed it, plus whatever else they find when they take it apart. He said a new one lists at about $1300. I told him I'd have to think about it, but wasn't feeling a lot of love for Quincy right now, since I will have replaced everything but the tank on a unit with only about 20 hours on it. If I replace the pump and check valve, the only major piece I haven't spent money on is the tank itself. If I buy a new one, I'm going to seriously reconsider other brands, although in fairness, it might be the time this thing sat not running (it's about 8 years old per the date code, the PO said he used it a lot when he bought it, not much since) may have caused/allowed some corrosion and such, which led to the problem. Plus I have a 60 gallon boat anchor and a freshly refurbished 3.5 HP motor to decide what to do with.

In hindsight, I should have just bought a new one in the first place. I'd have spent less money, and have a warranty as well.

Thanks for listening to my rant.
