I've had a few people ask me about my air compressor, so here are a couple of pictures and some comments.

I bought the compressor from a guy in Germany via E-bay. The manufacturer of the compressor is a company called Güde. I can't recall what I paid for it, but it was about 500 Euros. It's a 400volt 3-phase, which is about the equivalent of the 240volt 3-phase you find in the US. One big advantage of 3-phase power in Switzerland is that you are billed at about 1/3 the rate of single phase 220v. Amazing, but true.
