I apologize if this is the wrong spot to put this, but i was hoping to get some info on a compressor i recently purchased. I wanted to see what it's worth so i can decide whether to keep it and use it or sell it. It's an Atlas Copco 5hp three phase, 230/460V, 120gal. I didn't find much through googling except new Atlas Copco models, and of course that's not much to go by for third-party sales. I snapped a couple pics of it including the tag. Thanks!

Atlas Copco is a European based industrial tools and solutions company. Parts and service for their products is non existent at the consumer level. Their tools are high quality. Information, diagrams, spare parts, etc are all impossible to find for obsolete tools of theirs.
I went through this trying to rebuild an old 3/4" impact wrench of theirs. Found one exploded parts diagram of a similar model after an hour of googling, and nothing else.

It sounds like it was a good find then! Any opinion if i should keep it or sell it? One major hurdle if i keep it is that i do not have access to three phase (don't own a shop and residential in my area cannot get three phase), but i've heard you can get a system working utilizing a slave motor to "jumpstart" the motor. Which i may consider because i would like to get a bridgeport down the line, and the probability of that also being three phase is pretty high.

convert that thing to single phase and run a VFD on your future bridgeport.
