That sure is a good price for that pump.
You might try to locate a A/C shop near you and have it tested on a micron meter.
Also you may want to consider tearing it down and give it a good clean up.
I picked up a non working Robinair 4CFM,(bad cap on the motor)
I found a lot of black sludge inside bottom of the pump housing.
It pulls 60 microns on a good day,90-100 most times.Going to try a better oil for the pump.
IMPORTAT NOTE.
If you can't salvage the gasket,
Make one from gasket paper of the same thickness.
I made mine from note book paper and used thinned out rubber cement for a sealer on the paper.
If it's the belt driven model,that pump is as good as a welch and a Welch 5CFM with out the motor cost $750.00.
You got more then a good price.
