Picked up this compressor for reasonable money. Was used daily, kept up with needs, only sold because they got a scratch and dent deal on a brand new one. From what I can tell, the original color seems to be that teal machine green color. Numbers on the pump point me towards either Champion or Speedaire.
Tank date of manufacture says 1974.
I've attached pictures with what numbers I could find on the pump. The motor is a 5hp US-manufacture.
Should I pull it apart and rebuild the pump? Or run it as is, if it keeps up alright? It was filthy when I got it, but it lived in its own closet. Oil is golden, air filter was in place and okay. Not sure the availability of rebuild kits for this compressor, or how worth it it is.
Thanks in advance,
