Air brush problem

[papa 695]

Took Rick's advice and contacted the Iwata customer services and got in touch with a Man called Kirk. Who helped me no end ( i can't fault there customer services at all ) .

He talked me through loads of different ways to try and find out the fault. The problem being in the end a bent tube that the nozzle screws into, so you always get the symptoms of a blocked/dirty nozzle, with it being solderd/welded into the main body, no way of fixing without major costs so it looks like i'm on the hunt for a new one

A little note DON'T drop your air brush into the sink

Ian,

I'm glad you got an answer from Iwata that identified the root cause of your problem, albeit an expensive one. Kirk was ever so helpful with me and it's pleasing to find excellent customer support is still out there. Quality products and quality support from Iwata.

That's a real shame that your airbrush is not repairable, but good to know that Iwata offers such good aftercare.

See my almost identical (except for the cause) saga at:

My symptoms are the same and I have tried all the suggestions.

It might not help but might confirm that ABs are quixotic.

Does this mean Iawata do not provide spares ? Harder & Steinbeck produce spares for every component of the airbrush. I would have been suprised if Iwata did not.
