 ===== Where to buy =====
-We are in the USA so we bought our machine from [[http://www.manncorp.com|Manncorp]], it was made by [[http://www.mdc-smt.co.jp/|MDC]] in Japan, Manncorp sells in the USA, as well as all over the world -  the other MDC distributor is [[http://www.mekko.co.uk/about.html|Mekko]] based out of the UK. If you buy from Manncorp, tell them Adafruit sent you, they said they'd give us a free feeder (yay feeders)

+**Comment from a MDC customer 11/11/2009 ** - "You can also deal directly with MDC and if you decide to purchase from them, they can probably provide more flexible pricing. When they deal with a distributor, pricing is less flexible because the distributor needs to make a margin of a couple thousand dollars as well. I've already recommended another person to deal directly with them. If they can't undercut their disti pricing, then you can work with them on discounting the feeders which are usually overpriced through distributors".
