Badger service

Tue, 2012-09-11 16:31 — Joe Brugger

Just a basic kudo. Or, kudu if you prefer.

Sent my Badger 200 off to the company about nine days ago to extract a broken tip and do a general cleanup. Today it's back in my hands and working like new.

The airbrush was bought some time in the 1980s and has had pretty steady use. This is the first time it has been in for service -- the tip snapped at the thread while I was trying to remove it for routine cleaning but all has been repaired. All it cost me was postage and the price of a new tip.

Thanks, Badger.

TIA,
