If I could get all the tiny little losses eliminated I'd be tempted to
use both tanks for air storage, and just periodically switch which
compressor fills them. Then even if a compressor failed it would carry
the air seals for hours.
I also considered some sort of auto backup.  The easy way would be to
set the backup compressor to switch on at a lower pressure, but there
are a number of small issues that could cause both compressors to run at
the same time.  That's power I do not always have.  I never intended to
have a working machine shop.  This was just supposed to be a warehouse
for my contracting business.  I only have a 100 amp sub panel feeding
everything.  I know.  I know.  Upgrade the sub panel.  The house only
has a 200 amp main, and my wife wants to run electric demand heaters.
I'll have to upgrade the house main first.

I have one of these on my refrigerator as part of a plan to add load sensing to a true sine UPS with high idle current draw. It powers itself from the current sense coil, whose output lights the red LED and turns on the output MOSFET.

It or a higher rated one could control a contactor that disconnects the backup compressor when the main one's motor is drawing current, even if the belt is broken.
