I was looking for a v. pump to set-up a vacuum press when I came across this pump from HVAC co. that the owner said did not want. he said that someone borrowed it and returned it because it didn't work right(???). he offered it for me for 50 bucks.I had it run for good half an hour with no problem I hooked a vacuum gauge and the needle was steady. how else can you test the this pump but most important is it worth $ 50.00. it needs a cleanup for sure and from exhaust pipe air comes out with small amount of oil.most of the pumps that you see now days are Chinese made but this is made in the USA, but than again it could be at the end of it's life
your opinion is very much valued.
thanks.
