i think they just have a piston and ring in them.

Two pistons, rings, valve plate, etc.

I'm not even sure you can buy those parts.

Replacement compressor is the best way to go, unless you can find a good used one.

Not that hard to rebuild one if you have the right tools, (or find a rebuilt one like 70_F100 stated above).

Like the saying goes...they will have to pry my cold-hard hands off of my York compressor!
They run forever if oiled properly, (unlike it's metric cousin sanyo).
