Post a pic if you would I think ive one as well and a bunch of other old school guns. It is crazy that I bought a HF one maybe 15-18 years ago and its as good as any at least for the older paints I have and use.

i am a PPG certified painter / autobody tech with a lot of years experience.
without a pic,from past experiences it's probably a cheap copy of a binks 7 spray gun. with today's modern paint tech it's significantly inefficient and will waste a lot of materials to use it. modern gravity guns will waste less paint and spray as good as or better that what you have. in my opinion it probably isn't worth the time to get it to work.
our shop USED to use a similar gun for spraying liquid mask. in the end with the poor efficiency and overspray it wasn't worth the effort to use it. we now just use plastic masking rolls.
perception is 90% of reality

I was trying to remember whether it'd be a Binks 7 or an 18 - used both back in the Funny Car & offroad fiberglass days of the '70s... There was also the DeVilbiss that a lot of guys used. First knockoff gun I had back then was a "Central", and it lasted decades, but was definitely low-tech...
