Any guesses on what this is:

It's the one thing among all of his collection that looks homebuilt,
and rather complicated at that. Looks like the cumulation of a
lifetime of desire, learning, and acquisition went into it's
construction, but what the heck is it?

My guess is a 3-station evacuation center for evacuating multiple arid
conditioning systems prior to recharging.

That's a pretty good guess, and would explain the pump motors. It is
certainly involved with moving air under pressure or vacuum of some sort.

The thing that got my eye is the belt arrangement, as it looks to wind
through all three pump levels. This could just be an artifact of the low
quality of the image, however.
