The check valves would thread right into this compressor's heads and then the
existing piping could be re-attached. If I go 3/4"npt then I would have to
adapt from 1/2 to 3/4 and back to 1/2 for the rest of the piping. That may negate
the benefits of a larger check valve. Right?

Couldn't I just install 1/2"npt check valves from McMaster-Carr on all 4
ports to supliment the worn/broken reed valves? Am I totally off base
here, or would this work????

Yes, it would work. The extra, dead volume of the piping to connect to the
check valves will limit ultimate pressure and maybe volume.
You might want to use a larger size than 1/2", too.
