12 years later and your video is just what I needed. I had not used my airbrush in ~20 years and it was pulsing badly. Just a couple minutes with your video and a new bearing/seal and it's good as new. Thank you for posting this.

[@josephk8859]

Holy shit, this illustration is amazing. Thank you so much for posting this!

[@JeremyRobertson]

Inherited an old badger airbrush, cleaned it out but couldn't figure out why it wasn't working right, and this was the reason! Thank you!

[@iazonata]

You sir saved my airbrush a long trip across the Atlantic! He as well as myself are extremely grateful!!

[@Stu1283]

Great stuff - it aint easy to send my airbrush from UK to USA and the UK agent charges for this service so nice to know it can be done at home! thank you very much!

[@AndrevwZA]

Very interesting. My 150 from 30 years ago pushes out from behind.

[@williamfyock6698]

Perfect! Thank you!

[@josephgabriel3609]

[@jaja1818]

[@DiegoBasilii]

This worked in my 155 Anthem but I was unable to get the bushing or bearing, out the back. It got stuck on the edge of the air inlet tube and I couldn't get it past it. I didn't want to force it or damage it without a new one (part 50-046) so I pushed it back in and seated it firmly and adjusted it. It tightened everything up and it flows much better now. I may need to take a Dremel tool to open up the space by the air tube if I want to replace it but that sounds scary.

Excellent video helped me repair airbrush thank you very much 👍

[@albertvilviljoen367]

Tx for the info. I still struggle to get the bearing in the correct position because you can't see there. it keeps on making bubbles in the paint holder when I try to spray. Any more advice maybe? tx

[@MaeBlues]

Life saver !

[@gazakias1]

Thank you mate 👍

[@andrewbarker1190]

A great resource as always Tony. How are the remaining videos coming? Too busy and have had to prioritise? I totally understand.

[@Syclone0044]

Thank you, I am suddenly having poor paint suction in my old Badger 200 and can't figure out why. I am to the point where I've troubleshooted everything and I am suspecting the needle bearing. This video helped me and showed me an idea of what the friction/tension should be. I might try pushing the needle bearing in further to tighten it, but I don't know which direction to go on the Badger 200. Also I learned that wax or chapstick can help seal the threads that might be losing air pressure and impacting the suction.

[@dukedixon3192]

Thanks. I'll do exactly what you did but with a longer bit.

[@kustomair5937]

Do you know if the Badger Anthem 155 inserts from the front or the back?

[@alessandropepoli4320]

is it the same mode for the Badger 100LG?

[@OngJim]

Thanks for the video, I think the needle bearing is my problem with paint not coming out.

[@weasele1]

do you know what direction i need to go to tighten a bad 360 iv had prob with 360 and 150 now i own an infinity and velocity no more bearing problems infinities are awesome airbrushes effortlessly painting hair line detail

[@KKALFAKIS]

the 150 I am using, the needle bearing is inserted from to front, as the groove where the beering settles, is just behind the color feed path.

[@BaoBao0923]

Yep this is what I broke in my airbrush after thinking it was some left over paint

[@tmarcb1296]

If anyone is finding this video recently, it did not go so hot for me on my patriot 105. Have a drill bit stuck that I can't retrieve

[@tutubeater1]

Thank you

[@Starfleet0]

Hey, what happened to the videos?

[@weasele1]

try ruber tibing or tiny o rings

[@652barry]

Poorly designed area of that airbrush.

[@woodybear8298]

You went to all the trouble to make this video, then neglected to say what size bit you used.

[@bodygallery3550]

Really great video... i have a question. I have a few airbrushes that were given to me and they dont have needles in them so i dont know what size they are and the one that does have a needle i still dont know what size it is.. does anyone know now to figure out what size needle goes into them, do you measure the thickness of the needle?

[@johnbobbitt6470]

I've got the same question havin reafd yours, sir. People see my work and deliver airbrushes that have been in the basement since Kennedy was a child. Some I can't even find ANYTHING on. I love my vintage collection and would give anything to make a few workable.

[@bobcammarata2338]

Hope this helps you!!! If you have the name of the airbrush go to ebay and see if you can fined a needle to fit your airbrush, some times it works some time it don't. Good luck.
