Yeah.. we had one at the painting contractor I worked for in South Bend. It was on a 4 wheel roll around cart, and had fairly low volume and decent pressure.. worked well with pressure pot / fluid type guns.. Seems like it would run and run and not stop...

Not sure what to make of their worth.. If you're willing to live with some fairly old fashion pressure pot type conventional spray guns, and you have a use for it.... I'm thinking due to age $75 is about right.. Might try $50.
The one we had wasn't tremendously loud, sort of an old fashion "chugging" sound, I suspect it depends on what the speed of the motor is.
The handle is probably to lift if once its on the ground.. Its going to be fairly heavy. The one we had had a small tank under the cart it was on, with wheels. The "tank" on this one looks a bit home made. That pressure gage is a bit misleading. I don't believe the one we had could build much pressure above maybe 50 PSI.
Have you done a web search of the model number, etc? I suspect it was a fairly common unit back in the day..

Well I have an oiless unit now. I bought it for woodworking. what a mistake that was. I probably could bolt this thing right to the oiless tank and get rid of the annoying loud piece of ****. I thought they made 90PSI I would need that to power the guns

Yeah.. I doubt this would power a high SCFM gun link a Binks #7 or DeVilbiss JGA conventional, or any of the modern HVLP... Without a larger accumulator (tank)..
