Looks a lot like a Bauer. By the way, I've got one of those antiquated, old technology, K14's in my garage. Can jam as many cylinders in a stretch as I can throw at it in the 95 degree summers temps here in Florida. I've owned half a dozen Bauer's and have never had a problem beyond basic...
get them hydro'd before you do anything else. If they pass, which they should, you should get them tumbled, or do it yourself. Plenty of stuff on internet on do it yourself tumblers.
Partic, I believe you are referring to a Bauer Utilus 10, and not a standard Utilus. A standard Utilus is the same block as the Capitano and Mariner, just smaller first stage jug. It is slower turning compressor with fairly low output for it's block size and would outlive most typical divers...
One of Vance's books has some ideas you could look at.

I can't remember which book, maybe the oxyhacker companion. I believe he was using surplus hydraulic cylinders.
I am a do-it-yourselfer at heart, but this falls under one of those...
I had a Junior II and used to fill multiple LP 120 in series to 3600psi and never had any issues. Filling bottles in series is a lot different than filling storage. When you fill dive bottles it will only be at the higher pressure for a short period of the fill time, other than that it is just...
You should check with Carlos K here on the board. Stand up guy and will ship one to you at a good price, if he currently has one that will work for you.
It will pump to 5000psi and is rated for continuous duty, so you can fill storage with it. It says 3000psi most likely because that is what the pressure switch was set to originally.
Bauer keeps a record of all compressor blocks they sell, so if anyone wants verify performance or other specs...
A larger filter housing. Keep your eye on ebay or craigslist and you may get lucky, but it sounds like you've got a pretty good set up. I have always bought filter canisters pre-made from LF. I tried filling my own, but it was a pain in the butt and I'm not sure I saved much money. You have...
Yes, you can buy media from Lawrence Factor as well as other sources. You will need desiccant, hopcolite and activated carbon. However, if it is not necessary to be portable, I would suggest saving your money and upgrading your filter size. You will not save that much money filling your own...

Feel free to call me if you have any questions.
It is located in Orlando. I would really...

You can call Bauer in Miami with the serial number and they will be able to tell you exactly which compressor block you have. The first two numbers in the SN should be the year of manufacture. Parts can be expensive so the cooling line replacement might be a show stopper. Since it was in a...
This sale is for a Bauer Mariner high pressure breathing air compressor. Suitable for filling SCUBA, SCBA and paintball cylinders. Compressor is in very good condition and runs like a sewing machine. Great for a small dive club or a few guys filling their own cylinders. No more VIP's or...
I had a Bauer Junior for several years and it ran flawlessly. Fills to 5k psi but not rated for continuous duty. An Oceanus is the same block with an oil pump that is continuous duty.
Or better yet you could buy my Bauer Mariner! Although shipping to Washington sounds expensive. Maybe we...
