| 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 direct quote from Werther for the compressor of $1500. Freight was another $150 or so as its rather heavy and they don't ship via UPS. So we went with that. | 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]].
