advice on buying a compressor

[hooblah]

hi guys im looking to buy a 50 litre compressor. would you say sip is a decent brand?
i was looking at a t3/50-srb or a tn3/50-srb. whats the difference between these two?

thanks guys.

I have an Old green 3hp/50ltr Sip and it's been faultless despite hard use

they look a half decent compressor and belt driven better than direct drive

nice to know. but can anyone tell me what the difference is between the two models?

The TN is listed on SIP's own website but the T model is not

Maybe it's a newer model, specs are identical

thats what i was thinking, but why would you bring out a new model if theres no difference?
