If you are buying used, its worth the money to buy it and replace the three phase motor with a single phase motor.
Maybe yes. Maybe not. You had better price a good 5-7 1/2 hp motor before you decide if it is worth it.

Theres a guy in Smithville TN that sales compressors usually from freight damage etc at very good pricess. I bought a 80 gal 24cfm 7.5HP Chambell Hausfeld for $895.. He's on Facebook under Smithville Air Compressor Sales & Service
If you are replacing a compressor, odds are the motor was not the reason you are replacing it or you would have just changed the motor.Maybe yes. Maybe not. You had better price a good 5-7 1/2 hp motor before you decide if it is worth it.
