I love free compressors and just recently put a piston kit in one just like that. This design is extremely common with many compressors using those pumps.
I just troubleshot one of these (few generations newer model) which had only been used once and it apparently stopped working. It was given to me by someone I know who had been trying for weeks to troubleshoot it and get it working but they were unable to and so they were going to sell it for scrap metal but I interceded and they just let me have it for free. About one hour later I had it up and running. All it had was a couple of damaged copper wires on the electric motor, which I was able to repair. I do not know how in the world they managed to damage those wires or if the air compressor was just defective, but I do feel bad that it was really a brand new compressor that worked only once and then it was given up for useless because they just couldn't find out the issue of why it would not start. Well, the problem was a little hard to spot, but it was just a process of tracking where conductivity stopped.
That’s works looks like a weak brush spring would not hold the brush tight to the armature causing arcing and overheating. You could replace the brushes and springs along with the fan which is just press on. Motor sounded decent when it ran. Might be worth a shot.
I agree, these compressors are a couple hundred bucks and up new so it is definitely worth fixing and seems to be an easy fix, new brushes, fan blade and a new pressure gauge also id check the rubber o-rings in the pressure valve to make sure they're good to go and then you have a working compressor for darn near nothing!

Nice dog
Totally fixable (if you know what you're dealing with/doing)
