Can anyone ID this compressor? I need some filters and advice on what to maintain on this. I just bought it and it was being used at the time.

I believe that it is a P-90 which is similar to an old style Bauer Purus. Some of the parts are interchangeable. By the configuration (direct drive), I'd say Danny Burns probably put it together (LL Burns Specialties).

The intake filter is the same as a Bauer, N00070 (N70) and that gold tower was originally a Mako product. The replacement filter is an X65240 by Lawrence Factor.
However, from the picture, it looks like the nipple that seats the filter in the tower has come out of the filter (unless it is on the other end which is not shown). If this is the case, you will have to remove it from the towers internal base before you can install a new filter.

ps- Hope the dead fly on the window sill wasn't part of the package. :wink:
 
It sounds like I have found an expert!
What is your opinion on this compressor and the set up. If I change the filters (2) and add breathable oil to the compressor, what else should I do? What is the black tower? Anything I should do to it?
The fly was breathing the air from the compressor before I pulled the filters.
 
I believe our conversation answered most of your questions. Good to speak with you.
