I bought a vacuum system a couple years ago, used it twice and it's
been sitting ever since. Here's a link to one for sale through Amazon
so you can see the specs:

There's no picture, and I don't have a camera right now.

The pump and a switch have been bolted to a fiber board base so it's
very stable. It has the inlet hose with fittings. It came with a bunch
of breather and release fabric. The pump is in perfect shape, the
cloths have been sitting folded all this time and are kind of creased,
but usable. I paid $150 plus shipping.

I've added to it shrink tube: 8 meters of 1", 3 meters of 1.5", plus a
bunch of various small (1/2" to 1/4") sizes in meter lengths. Also a
bottle of canuba wax for mandrel release coating. I'll throw in a
sheet of medium glass cloth, about a square yard of some very thin
random weave kevlar, a yard of 1.5" kevlar sleeve and some pieces of
broad weave CF cloth.

Shipping is significant: the whole package weighs about 22 pounds.
It'll come from area code 76016. Take shipping into account and make a
lump sum offer to drmcclainphd (at) gmail (dot) com. Due to ID/card
theft I've frozen my accounts, so I'd need a money order.

Someone looked up the pump on eBay. They're reportedly going for $75 to $100. That's the pump alone, no wiring, base, supplies, or the extras I'm adding.
