More accurately: would it be worth anything if it's not broken, worn

Nameplate says "Emerson". I'd be using it mostly for filling tires and
painting model airplanes.

Update:

When I bought it I made sure that it got plugged in and came up to
pressure. What I _didn't_ do was bleed off some air and make sure it
started again -- which it doesn't. It tries, but the thing don't turn.
I thought "this thing needs a blow-down". Then I heard the slow leak
from the compressor head, deduced the existence of a check valve, and
found the check valve. Presumably it just needs to be 're-checked'.

Oh well.


If it runs and pumps, the rest is fixable.

(If it did not run, it could be fixable also, just not a given)
