    Look on Craigslist.org. See if it is worth anything. Sell it on CL

    I agree, it probably was pulled from service at the end of it's medical service life. Does not mean that it doesn't work at all. Just not able to medically certify it an more. We have some in our dialysis unit that are at least 10 years old, being used every day. Unless a cord cutter got to them first.

    I sell them, or donate depending on the situation. I get them for free anyways. most of the time the cords are cut, but still with the machine. I just rewire them, clean them up and off they go. the ones I get, the big motor weighs 11 pounds, the air tank weighs 11 pounds(i turn them in dirty) wasn't worth the mess they make once opened. I usually get about 30 at a time.

    Glass blowers use them. The extra oxygen ups the temp of their gas torch flame.
