Assistance identifying old compressor - suspected Bauer

[trimmatters]

Hey team

There's an old, not run for many years, compressor nearby for a trivial investment.

Since going CCR and sorting out my booster with a 12v compressor set up, my need for breathing air compressor is minimal... but I'd still appreciate having something small and very portable.

Rebuilding something old would also be a great distraction project

I'll be heading out in a couple days to look at the model numbers etc. but any early tips be greatly appreciated.

I understand Bauer stocks spares for 15-20 years for all models, but only selectively beyond that. I believe this one is an early 1980s unit so may run into issues.

So, anyone know what this is?

@oldairdude used to own August Industries and says he's working on supporting the 'vintage' Bauer stuff now, with a stockpile of older parts and stuff.

That’s a Bauer Purus. Plenty of key parts still available, plus I stock vintage parts. So if you peruse the project, I have you covered. Let me know the block number stamped on the pump and I will send you the manuals.
