I tossed the spare in the basement years ago, get's in the way, weighs a bunch, and IMO wouldn't be safe to use even if it did inflate.

Air sourced by a German pump. Really? Does that compromise the air quality?

And long the same vein, Will this work with my 1973 Bosch Electric components?

Just buy a Porsche compressor with a box missing it's clip. Seriously, the value drops by more than half and many boxes have lost the clip so there's a lot of low cost ones out there. Of course, you need to then find a Porsche rubber band.
