Does anyone know about this compressor? I found one for sale (not local) that claims to be new, never used, kept in storage. They are asking $2000US plus shipping. It says it only has a 3.5 HP gas engine. Most of the small compressors I've seen have 5-5.5 HP gas engines. Was/is this a decent compressor? Are parts still available for a reasonable price (understand it's a Bauer). I think many consider Bauer a bit above Colti and Alkin, but I don't want something that will cost me a fortune to maintain.
The only think I found was a USNavy test on it. Says it averaged 2.07 CFM and charged a single 80 tank in 39 minutes. but it was a Varius G-3. Not sure how that differs from the V2B.
Anyone care to guess the weight of this unit? Is (was) it rated for continuous duty (bank bottles)? How about CB for <36% O2?
Any info, opinions, comments or links will be appreciated.
