There are likely multiple good companies that sell compressors. We aren't compressor-experts so likely there are better options, if you know any, simply add them below! | There are likely multiple good companies that sell compressors.

- | First, we looked at what the MDC distributor suggested! [[http://www.manncorp.com/air-compressors/panther/|Manncorp suggests the "Panther PC106" for $2400]] This machine is almost certainly drop-shipped direct from Werther, the US distributor of the "PC106" ({{:accessories:pc106.pdf|PC106 Datasheet}}). We got a quote for the compressor of $1500. Freight was another $150 or so as its rather heavy and they don't ship via UPS. | + | First, we looked at what the MDC distributor suggested!

The PC106 is actually the "Compact 106" from [[http://www.fiac.it/main_eng.asp|FIAC, an Italian manufacturer]]. Their USA distributor is [[http://www.werther.com|Werther]] International. So basically, a $500 FIAC compressor is sold to Werther for $800 who sells it for $1500 to Manncorp who sells it to you for $2400. Yay middlemen! :) | The PC106 is actually the "Compact 106" from [[http://www.fiac.it/main_eng.asp|FIAC, an Italian manufacturer]].
