Need some input on this unit. Not sure if I should pull the trigger or if I should pony up and buy something new. For a 33 year old compressor it looks like it's in good shape but ..........

It's for a home shop. Some blast cabinet duty - no painting or da sanding. My budget would top out at $1,300 for a new unit.

Just wondering if this is a good deal and I could save the balance and put it towards a two post lift, or play it safe and buy a new one.

And if I do go for it what should I look for as far as possible problems?

Let me know what you think.

This is ridiculously overpriced for a 3HP compressor.

Look elsewhere.

Going by the stated amp draw, that looks more like 5hp. Cosmetically looks good, so could be low hours. Worth a closer look I'd think.

Both the amp rating and the pump model number indicate its a 3 HP.

I'm sure the "35/17" is "120/240V".

It probably puts out 7 CFM.

For some reason I thought it was priced at $1,300. At $500 you can still do better, because you're going to be buying a second compressor or replacing it. It's a small pump on a big tank. I would expect it to take 17-18 minutes to fill from 0-175 and 3 minutes to fill from 145-175.
