These are very close to the originals. They are "Stebel Princess" instead of "Stebel Junior" but the compressor looks almost exactly the same. The bracket looks the same. The only difference is the later compressors didn't have that oil inlet on the top of the compressor.

The horns are a bit different as well...not black with the red tops.

Anybody on here bidding on these? The flood kinda took out the ones on the flooded vert. I would like to bid on them, but don't want to step on any toes.

How did they take them out? I'm assuming the motor doesn't work?

What I think you can do is buy these, disassemble both and put the guts from the princess into the original junior ones you have. Then you would be gtg. Make sure you clean out the old housing and put some graphite lubricant in the top section.

Don't throw out the originals.

Since Mike had the only reply, I placed a bid. Haven't checked mine completely, but figured these will come in handy at some point in time.

The horns work great. Haven't had time to check the compressor yet. Inspired me to check mine. Horns work fine, a really ear piercing sound, drove my dogs crazy. I'm now working on the original compressor. More to follow.
