I bought this in 2003 in a set of 2 that were government surplus with a buddy. I ended up with both compressor heads and one of the auto dumps. One head had around 10 hours and one had around 40. Not sure which one this is...but regardless it's low hours. I tested both so I know they both work...I used the other one for a while and had my first kid and sold it and kept this one for when I started diving again. Well...3 kids and 7 years later I am finally starting to dive again occasionally...but not enough to warrant owning my own compressor. So it's all going to go.
The compressor is a Bauer K14, 1972 model, 3HP, 4.3 CFM, 3200 PSI with extremely low hours. It is not quite plumbed right since the auto dump is gone. I do have the seperators from another K14 I had a long time ago and I bolted them on but haven't plumbed them completely yet. The compressor is sitting on a welded frame I made years ago, but I haven't bolted a motor on yet. So as it sits it's not running. I have a Wisconsin Robin 6HP motor that can go with it or a monstrous Baldor 3HP single phase electic. The compressor also has the oil pressure sensor on it (untested). I have extremely limited time at the moment so I will sell it as is for the right offer...you can come over and tinker with it to make sure you think it's right. These compressor run very cool, quiet and very slow at 800 RPM. You can bump them up faster to get more air if you really wanted to. If I don't get the right offer I'll take the time to get it going but I'll be asking much more.
I have the original parts manual, operating manual, and shop rebuild manual.
I also have 2 bank tanks that were O2 cleaned and hydro'd 7/03 that have had air in them this whole time. Pressure is 3500PSI. I also have another tank that I got from a paintball guy a few years back...I'll check it's hydro and other info tomorrow. No idea on that tanks history or condition...the guy was using it with a Rix compressor so it should be clean inside, but probably rusty as hell since he didn't have a coalescer.
I am also including 3 of those filter stacks from the military oxygen racks and one Mako filter I bought and never used. Not sure on the Mako...looks like the model was P-1 and it takes a filter BC-106. I have 2 filters from A Plus for the military filters and one for the Mako. They are sealed in zip locks and were bought in 2003...indicator looks okay so they are probably still fine. I also have about a half gallon of oil.
I also have a coil of stainless tubing you can have and a bunch of pigtails for the banks. I'll probably give you a box of other parts too.
I have a new bottom gasket for the compressor as I was planning on dropping the pan and cleaning out that old oil by hand before firing it up. I'd recommend doing that if you buy it.
All parts have been kept in my shop. May have some dust on them but otherwise clean. I am located in Pascagoula, MS and where I work has a fork lift and easy access if you want to have a freight truck pick it up.
I'll post some pictures and more information if interest warrants.
