Default fa: GAST pump (should be OK for Vacuum chuck use)

normally, when I run across vacuum pumps, I test them, repair them and
offer them for sale via my web page but right now I'm drowning in
stuff and don't have time to test this pump - it is a GAST rotary vane
pump designed to be driven by a 1/4 HP 1750 RPM motor, I've put all
the specs and info into the e-bay listing below. I've also set the
starting price pretty low, but please only bid on it if you have the
mechanical ability to put a pulley or coupler on it and connect it to
a motor, and if you can install a service kit if it needs it - if you
can do that then there is a good chance you will get an excellent
price on a GAST pump. Note that I am not offering this through my web
because I don't want to sell something through my web site that I
haven't tested and know is good - this is untested.

This is a pressure pump, not a vacuum pump, but in my experience,
either type will deliver adequate vacuum for wood turning use as a vac
chuck, and the specs say 4CFM flow, which is plenty for our use.

here's the link
