                        Yet another Air Compressor dilemma
                        Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, July 28, 2004 12:03 PM
                        Which Air compressor should I get?

                        http://www.dixieart.com/Silentaire_Scorpion_Compressors.html
                        (Silentaire Scorpion II)

                        Or...

                        http://www.airbrush-depot.com/scripts/depot.exe?pgm=compress.bbx
                        (ABD TC-20T)


                        Does anyone know if the compressor on the ABD TC-20T have a diaphram or is it piston driven is it any good? I am assuming piston is better than diaphram driven?


                        Thanks for the help...

                        I have the Badger/ Thayer & Chandler AirStar V which is a re-badged version of the Silentaire Scorpion 1 (the version with the rectangular metal enclosure) and its pretty quiet, has a real pressure regulator and a decent water trap. I rigged an additional direct switch so it can run continuously at wery low pressure and I love It ! Highly recommended and carries a reasonable price tag.

                        you could always take a look at this one.. I have this one in my house when Airbrushing. and noone knows when it kicks on.

                        http://www.chpower.com/chimages/catalog/active/comp_FP2040_500x401.gif

                        the link to the site is:

                        http://www.chpower.com/index.asp

                        just click on residential compressors and all the info will show up. Also they are sold in any Walmart for under $100.

                        Hope this helps
