I have restored several pumps in this condition. I'm a cheapskate, and was wowed by the really cheap prices on them. Can they be restored? You bet, but take my word, the cheap pumps that most consider too far gone cost far more to restore than to buy a good pump up front. On all those cheap pumps I have always lost my shirt when I get paid for working on them. That pump on eBay is way overpriced. It seems like an American picker type found it in a swamp and thought he won the lottery, when in reality the price is so off base, and unrealistic.
