Default Is this brake booster good?

It came from my 1990 parts car and is a factory PBR unit. I am not sure how hey should react to vacuum. Here are the results ....

Hooked to my running engine pushrod moves freely.

after motor is shut off pushrod moves freely about 2-3 times then gets really hard to push.

a vacuum pump hooked to it and 23 inches of vacuum applied it will hold that vacuum for a easy 20 minutes without a loss.

Basically a buyer is interested in it and wanted to know if it in fact is a good booster.

Thanks guys! I just check the one on my 90 project and it can't hold vacuum at all so maybe just put this one on the car now since the one on my 90 is a metal one.
