Coltri scuba pump - is it a deal?

[ColoradoPete]

This turned up on Facebook Marketplace. Looks like a substantial pump (but I'm not sure if it is a deal). Anyway, it's not what you expect to find in the most landlocked state. Is it a deal for a serious AGer?

Have you checked new prices?

New theyre expensive. I got a tuxing clone of that for half of that price shipped before tarrifs were a thing. Theirs rebuilds for them, and once you have something like that you'll wonder how you did without.

I've got the same one. They ain't going to get any cheaper.
It has a SCUBA fill fitting on it. Ask if the pressure switch is set for 300 bar. If not, that may be a bargaining chip. Take a tank over there and have them fill it. It should start on first or second pull. Honda motor is bullet proof. It's overkill to fill a gun. You will overfill it in seconds. Trust me; I know....
See what kind of oil they are using. Don't cheap out. Coltri Oil is a must. A rebuild can cost just south of a grand.
If they'd take <$2500 it would be a good deal.

Will it fill SCBA tanks (4500 lbs)? Scuba tanks (hp) are around 3200ish lbs. For airgunning 4500 lbs is needed generally speaking.

Yes. My China clone is electric but looking at ops Pic it's a 1:1 I had to re tune the safety blow off valve and the auto stop to change mine from 3000 to 4500 fills. A matter of an Allen wrench for the auto stop and 2 wrenches for the blow off safety

A couple years ago Nuvair was selling that same compressor for $2,500

I found them cheap in Europe for European sale, potentially the same place you mention. Getting it to the states got it right up to Bauer pricing.
