Default ES 300...Air Compressor

Ok, I admit that this is SLIGHTLY off topic and not really directly abouy my ES300, but it's auto related so maybe you can help me. About 12 years ago, I bought a Black and Decker "Airstation". It's a small compressor that plugs into A/C current. It's the PERFECT little item for adding air to my cars' tires. It's more heavy duty than those 12V-cigarette lighter compressors, but not as bulky or expensive (it was about $50 twelve years ago) as compressors with a tank. It just pumps the air directly into the tire without a tank.

Well, it died today. And it appears that Black and Decker no longer makes it. I searched the internet and cannot find anything like this. Do any of YOU have any ideas for me?

Have you tried Sears-Craftsman? Look in the bike/sporting goods section as well as the automotive section. I've got one in the garage, but I don't know the brand off hand. I see these everywhere. Try Target, Autozone, PepBoys, etc.

Funny, my old Bonneville had one built in, in the trunk. I miss that security.

Alright, I trudged out in the snow.
