Any idea what it's worth? It runs and seems to pump air, it's just not building pressure because it's coming out the end of the hose. In the last pic it says Made in the United States of America. Pretty cool! ;D I do have this at home with me, so if there is something more you want to see it I can definitely try.

Its not building up pressure....because the Non return valve...is boogered....when the motor is running..it drives the flywheel, that in turn..makes the piston go up and down....the compressed air then flows into the tank..through a non return valve...if said valve is broken ..then no pressure is built up..and any air that is produced flows out of the tank...its a simple fix...if you are keeping it....value wise...on this side of the pond.....minimal... .as in scrap.....

Perhaps someone restoring an old service station would want it !! Like Wullie said,,minimal value !! Interesting piece of equipment though !!

Plan B is to scrap but I put it on Craigslist as make offer. Maybe someone will want it. ::)
