I found this on eBay. Is it any good? Anyone has ever used it?
I’ve got a similar one. A Robinair 600 CFM and it works well. Not exactly cheap though.
I don’t think it’s a Robinair. I found this for only 100USD!
If you need some help/guide in building a vacuum system:

has a free pdf -mind you he is a woodworker and does a lot of veneer work - but when it comes to vacuum assisted layup - it all sucks!
Mine is shown (parts anyway) in his users other machines gallery. http://www.joewoodworker.com/veneering/visitorspress.htm

I got a great eBay deal on a Thomas Ritchle for less than 50bucks – shipped! And it Works!
$100 is a good price. They’ll run forever (so I’m told). Here’s how I put together my vacuum setup.
