There is a Bauer MV120 that I'm interested in. Not much info on it, and from the pics looks somewhat weathered and will need a little TLC. Not sure if that was while in service, or if its been neglected after being taken out of service. Hour meter says 5095 hours.

It doesn't come with any whips, and both outlets are labelled 225 bar:

Looking at the inside photos, the separator looks different to what I've seen before. The easily identifiable Bauer pressure relief is not sitting atop the cylinder, but there appears to be an electronic pressure switch which I assume either cuts the compressor or releases a valve somwhere else? What would be involved in increasing to 300bar? Changing out the pressure sensor?

Also not sure the condition of the filter tower, especially considering the corrosion around the u-bolts holding it in place. Obviously would be an expensive outlay to replace the housing..
