I have 618 (1 compressor ) and 860 (2 compressors) 78's. I like the two compressor's simplicity. Anyone ever make changes so that if one quits. The other compressor could pump up both sides as a backup plan?Bob Dunahugh

The beauty of that system is the simplicity and related reliability. I suspect any effort to modify the plumbing and wiring for a backup mode will defeat what is good about the design.
