Is this compressor worth $500

I do not have 3 phase, but the 220 part is fine

45 years of use in a truck stop, 3 PH 5HP motor needs to be replaced if you want to use it...

No.

Easy pass.

I was thinking PASS, but my desire for more power made me stop and think. I look at CL daily for a larger compressor. I have a 26 gallon husky, but would LOVE more air to run a cut-off wheel, etc.

You have 3 phase power in your garage/shop or a phase converter? If not I would pass. I would wonder too how rusted the bottom of that tank is. There was a thread a few months ago where a guy had one of these explode due to age/rust and it wasn't pretty.

I think the real value is the pump. The motor and tank are somewhat iffy as others have said. It seems pretty pricey for what it is.
