Teflon Needle Bearing

[935k3]

Does anybody know af a source for this part in a Badger 175 Crescendo. You can buy the one for the Badger 150/200 anywhere but I have never seen one in a hobby shop and they cannot seem to order them. I got some once from Dixie Art but they charged 10 bucks to ship a 3 dollar part. I know Badger will replace them but they are very ease to replace yourself if you can get the parts

You have to send it in to Badger for repairs. It takes special tooling to replace it. The needle bearing is covered under a life time warrenty. All you have to do is send them your brush with a note saying the the bearing needs replacing and they will do the repairs free of charge. I actually have my airbrush over there right now for the same reason. If you have any questions, just give them a call. They are all nice people and are very helpful.

I hope this helps....

Thanks, but beleive you can do it yourself. I have done many times on the 175 and 200. You just need a brass rod of the proper size to push the old one out and push the new one in.
