I am not familiar with these and am looking for any advise.I will be able to hear it run when I go look at it.He wants $350 for it just not to shure. http://images.craigslist.org/3ka3p33le5O35Y25U5b8cd41097fbe2a21fe0.jpg

The round tag on the back of the compressor pump should have the model number. Examples C90, D96, F97, or SR96 (not limited to what I listed)

Don't know about the condition but $350 seems reasonable. I, however never pay retail. Offer $250 and go up if necessary. I do know that Curtis makes top quality industrial compressors. We have a 15hp/120 gal horizontal tank/2-stage/3-phase with an air dryer at work. It was purchased 10 years ago and has never been used! It's sitting in the boiler room. We perform annual and bi-annual maintenance on it. A federal inspector comes out once every year to re-certify it. Just sittin' there. It's a cryin' shame!!

The pump model won't be stamped on the tag, but rather part of the paint on the tag. The numbers you are giving are lot numbers.
Hopefully this is it DK2A.I think it is a 1947 2 stage pump seems to be in good condition paint on the tank is worn but no rust on anything.http://images.craigslist.org/3ka3p33le5O35Y25U5b8cd41097fbe2a21fe0.jpg

If you go look at it - and it runs, is quite and pumps up fairly fast - I don't see how you could go too wrong at $350.00 - - but as others have said - I'd rather take a chance on it at $250.00. $350.00 is getting close to the price of a brand new compressor...
FWIW,
