Bauer Junior 2 help

[compressedairguy2019]

Theres a guy selling this Bauer Junior 2 compressor made in 08/03 this compressor is old and already past the 15 year life on the filter tower. The seller wants $600 for it. Is this a good price? And do i really need to buy a new filter tower or can i use the current one?

If it can be verified as fully functional, then it darn sure is worth the $600. I would be more worried with how many cycles the tower has had than the age of it, but playing it safe is always the best option.

I was told by the seller that the compressor was installed in a special built 5th wheel for refilling military use paint gun cylinders but it never sold and it just sat.

A Bauer Junior II is outfitted with a P21 filter assy (the same filter assy is known as the P0 filter assy in the USA).
Unless it was filling 300Bar cylinders 24x7x365 for the whole 15 years I wouldn't worry about it. If you want to make very sure you can look for a company that can xray the cylindrical portion of the filter for any signs of load cracking. Mine is 20 years old and has had less than 5000 load cycles - means I'm not worried and will continue to use it untill somebody gives me a new IK10 compressor for a song and a dance.

The moment you start using it commercially, with paying customers, is when you start having to worry about things like that, but in Florida why should anybody get upset. I've seen compressors that were in worse shape than poor redneck pickup trucks, that are still being used.

The Bauer compressors run forever. For $600 you’re getting a damn good deal. If you don’t buy it I’ll take it myself. I’ve got one already but I’d buy another in a heartbeat.

Can you take a look at the pictures below and tell me if this is some type of auto drain system and control panel? It has a filter system attached to it.

What you have is an absolute steal for $600. It certainly is an auto condensate drain system with the Asco condensate drain solenoid valve and the small black unit being a condensate drain muffler. The filter tower alone is worth more than $600.

pass on it, but send me the link to it....

Forgot to mention that the black box with two gauges on it is a fill regulator.....great set up at a bargain price.
