| - | 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}}).

Yay middlemen! :) | + | The PC106 is actually the "Compact 106" from [[http://www.fiac.it/main_eng.asp|FIAC, an Italian manufacturer]].
