Needle taper in the .18 and .23 are the same. Just swap out the head, and you are good to go. Unless you have an older V1.18 - they were different.I will have a look.
One question on the Custom CB-B it says you can put a 0.23 head on it.But your needle would still be 0.18
completely personal preference - they both operate off the same bits.Well you’ll be pleased to know Dave ordering the Eclipse but which one
BS or SBS

I was lucky enough to be able to buy a B it’s taken a lot of selling bits and bobs to buy these.
Toying with either and Eclipse or a HP-C 50th Anniversary.But nervous because it doesn’t have the Teflon needle seal.
A little late to the party, but do I understand correctly that the CM-B V1 doesn’t have PTFE seals? Do I need to buy one of these:

or does Dave sell a similar product?
Thanks Dave - PM on the way!I do have some of the Dura-glide seals left. In the Micron, the V1 had a rubber o-ring with a flat faced retaining screw. They replaced that with a teflon seal, and a retaining screw that is pocketed. If you have a V1 the dura-glide is a drop in replacement. If you have the teflon, jut shave the teflon flat wit the face of the screw, and ream it a little with a toothpick to keep it binding the needle more than it needs to, and install the dura-glide in front of it...
In case you don't know, the dura-glide is just as solvent proof as teflon, but allows the feel of the rubber o-ring, which is superior to teflon.
Thanks Andre. Yes, I'll be using lacquers - I'm a model builder.You only need it if you paint with solvent based paints.
Interesting. I have a few H&S seals. Is your Micron a V1 or V2?I have used a needle packing seal from Harder & Steenbeck in my Micron without changing the nut.

Just pull out the old rubber ring and then tighten the screw thingy over it, yes?Mine is V1. Just seat it with needle through it.
