Very Nice! Your going to love the freedom of filling your own tanks. I started with a Cornelius compressor ten years ago but sold it to an air rifle enthusiast. I then bought a used 1985 Bauer Purus and have never looked back. Enjoy your new found freedom.

I thought for sure it would be gone when I saw it on Craigs List @ $995.
The freedom will be nice not relying on the local dive shop. They have gotten out of the charter business and down sized the shop.
They are now doing boat rentals as their main thing. Hours dependant on rentals, no afternoon rentals close early, etc.
Air fills are only $5
Now to get it wired up.

Holy Cow that's a terrific score! Everything I've read about those Alkins is good. Low RPMs and high CFM. And did I read right? Only 4 and a half hours on it? Wow. I wish I got that deal. Congratulations on a great bargain AND a great compressor!

That's awesome. The silver lining of the post-COVID business cycle.
