My 2 Year Old $2500 Compressor Just Died

That's weird,I know of champion compressors from the 70s that are still running. I have a 5 hp 80 gallon emglo,tank says was built in 1987. I bought it used about 12 years later and (ab)used the snot out of it.
I sandblast with it in my cabinet alot. And it still keeps going. I did have a valve go bad in it once, I bought the rebuild kit and dingle ball honed it, put all new rings valves and gaskets in it, was actually pretty cheap.
I did have a problem with the motor once, $80 and a trip to the electric motor shop and it's as good as new, even that was around 6-7 years ago.
