I purchased this compressor from an auction and have some concerns. If it is rated to 2500psi is it suitable for scuba use? I'll need it to be able to fill HP tanks. I got it cheap enough I don't mind spendng some money on it.

Seems like it would be suitable but your only going to get 2500psi fills if that's what its rated to
 
Opie, come on, a much more reasonable answer is...Built in 1980...likely good for at least 3200 psi and probably a whole lot more. Need a photo.
Contact Bauer direct, they are very helpful when you have the block number. Very likely only need to change the OPV.
But the filters are right at the transition time from the old style mini-near useless to the more modern.
Also hours run, if high...may need to change separator..Ouch, just brought one for $800...too many pressure cycles and they tend to go boom.
Likely if it has modern filtration, low hours it will pump to 300 Bar.
One of my k-14`s says 3200 PSI and it pumps to 4500 no problem. Call Bauer and you will know for sure.
