I have a Badger 175 Crescendo. Been using it since about 1993. Never had to do anything to it but clean it.

Well when I first seen the thread title I first thought was well this is going to take awhile. Last count was 33 mostly inherited from my Grandpa and Father-in-Law. Then I see its Airbrushes lol
Anyway the only airbrush I have right now after selling off my other two I never used. A Iwata Eclipse HP-CS with a .5 needle installed.
And Something that is almost always at arms reach my Beretta Mod.92FS 9mm

And I’ve contacted Badger regarding a hose adapter for my Patriot 105 airbrush to use with my Paasche hose. They responded and gave me the part number so I need to order it some point this weekend.
USA Airbrush seems to be a huge Badger dealer. Good service.
Yup. That’s the first place I looked and have the part I need.

Lyle, where do you get those quick disconnect change out tips? I love that idea for using multiple airbrushes.

Still have my old Badger 200 and a couple of Harbor Freight Chinese airbrushes. But they are siphon feed and a pain to clean so they sit in a drawer
Thanks John! Is there a possibility to change the needle and the nozzle in the NEO to a finer or this is the only size that goes ?
Second vote already for the NEO Iwata, should I also..... !

I believe there is a .3 available

L to R, Top to Bottom.....
Badger 105 (the one I'm using now),
Badger 105 the one the first one just replaced. Just changed the hose attachment fitting....should work better now...I hope.
Badger 150 the carcass. I used it for parts to fix a 105. Will order parts some day soon I hope.
Iwata Eclipse HP CS something wrong with the trigger. likely will have to order new trigger assembly, and the newest
Badger 350 at the recommendation of Mustang1989 for painting car bodies. All but the 350 are double action.
That's Lyle a busy table! Great collection there!
Just of curiosity, none of the AB's have their hadle screwed on. Don't you keep them on while shooting or ?

A workhorse in other words and still going strong. Amazing, from 1993! T
