[boscoebrea]

has a Baldor 1409t motor, says Fresh air, good condition.
Does anyone have an idea if it is a good air gun compressor,I only ask because it is near me.

Your description has to be a lot better, if you expect an answer.

My cheap Tuxing compressor

Still work fine but not more than a couple of run hours on it. Mind you the overpressure valve now leak a little over 200 BAR, but i can not adjust it CUZ its not like it is popping, so will have to take a closer look at that some time here in the off season. It also still fill to 300 BAR just...

One more point and one you should already know because of your experience. There is no such thing as inexpensive HPA. HPA is the most expensive expense of our hobby. Buyer beware!

In my experience things from West Germany are built like a Panzer tank. But with no brand name or any other info it’s only a guess.

I emailed for more information, anyhow it is a "badboy" compressor, then again if no longer made forgetaboutit.
Yes I needed to have more info,was just hoping.

East and West Germany became simply Germany in 1990. If labeled West Germany, then 33 or more years old. I’d want to see maintenance records, have opportunity to personally observe operation, test ability to build and maintain pressure, deliver oil-free air, bearing noises, rod or piston noise, etc.

Motor upon look up appears to 5hp, single phase, 23A, 230v.

I would check the local classifieds OfferUp, FB market pace for a portable Bauer.They come up from time to time sometimes really reasonably priced. Bauer still has parts and service.
