Help me figure out what brand this is.
I bought this set of A/C gauges several years ago from an on-line source. I don't remember who.
![]() I was using the gauges this weekend and when I went to pressurize the system with nitrogen after purging the system by pulling a vacuum. I could not get a good vacuum so I figured I had a leak. As soon as I added nitrogen I heard a major leak. I only went to 125 PSI. The leak was from the red knob (the high pressure side) on my gauges. ![]() With the knob cranked down to off it blows right out the side of the valve. If I open it all the way up it will stop leaking. I took the valve out of the housing and I it looks OK, but is has a leak somehow. ![]() ![]() This warning about using eye protection is the only text on the set (except the numbers on the gauge face) I can't find a maker name or brand anywhere. I was hoping the brain trust might recognize the brand or have a suggestion on where or how to get it fixed. Any ideas?

OK, never-mind guys.
I found the manufacturer. Talked to customer service. They are sending me two of the valve repair kits for FREE. That is great customer service. I was guessing I had some totally one of a kind piece of equipment that was discontinued and all I would hear is "I have never seen one of those before, they quit making them and all the parts are gone forever" SCORE!
