Dear Modellers,
I need help. I bought the Air Compressor AS189A but can't figure out how to get the pressure gauge to work. When I lift the Pressure Knob and turn it, as per the instructions, the entire Column turns out and lets the air out. I then followed the advice given above to turn the Knob all way round anti-clockwise, and the entire Pressure Gauge mechanism and spring jumped out - now it's all back together, I don't know what yo do to set the pressure for spraying. The AS189A pumps to full (switch 1 - auto cut-out @ 4bars), and then what do I do to choose my preferred spraying pressure of 25psi..? Thx for all the input.

Sounds like you could have a faulty valve, how long have you had it? Is it still under warranty?

John. Merry Xmas..! I bought this new in August, so yes, I'd dare t say it's still under guarantee, but I now live in Italy (since Oct), I'm a priest on mission here.... So not sure where to turn too..!

John,
I just wrote to everythingairbrush.com who sold me this item on the 2nd of July, 2010... here's a better explanation of my "issue"..
Today (Xmas day), I got an Airbrush for Xmas and switched on the Compressor for the FIRST TIME to find that the Pressure Value Regulator does not work properly. When turning the Pressure Knob to select the spray pressure, the entire Valve column turns and allows the air to escape. NB: Lifting the Pressure Knob up, as instructed, has no effect at all - it turns the entire column in the UP or in the DOWN (locked) position. What is supposed to happen when I LIFT the pressure knob... maybe I am doing something wrong...?

Hi
Bit of an old post now but I am just adding this as an update.
I also have this compressor and the next model up, the one with the double pump. I have had them for a couple of years now and both have given faultless service so I can highly recomend them. I now see that a four pump version is now available to, this should be powerful enough to power small air tools as well.
A not on SimpletoTrade, I have used them without issue in the past and would recomend them, except they are no longer trading, don't know why but their eBay account is closed as well.
