I got mine
.
And I don't think there is a prettier shaped cup on any other airbrush. This cup shape/design is gorgeous, at least to me.
I’ve been taking a look at the forum and I found this thread....Congrats! I’m glad you found this beautiful and I agree with you: I'm also in love with "this cup/shape design"...so much that I have three of them (I’m trying to contain myself so I don’t buy two more that I have in sight on a local page
) Yes....I think I have a hard AAD syndrome
One of mine was new, unused. Other of them was medium used and another one was very used. I first bought the very used and it was clogged with paint dry. It wasn't functional although it had moving parts, so I decided cleaning up and try to get it to work. I totally disassembly it (all except the neddle glans, it is still stuck) and cleaning up. I serviced it and reassembly it. The neddle was a little bit bent, but at least I could straighten it. I also could unclog the nozzle without damage it but the rubber nozzle washer was broken and I decided to use as a provisional seal, an H&S's rubber air valve washer, in order to see if the airbrush could work. It did it.
It was a hell disassembling and re-assembling the trigger
I lubricated all parts and connected the brush to the compressor and....it does work!!!
It was incredible because it was very very dirty and totally clogged. The only thing that didn't work well were the air valve: the air flow was constant both when pulling the trigger and not pressing it. I realized that at some point in use by its previous owner, the paint had flowed down there. So I had to disasembly the air valve also, cleaning up, lubricate it and re-assembly it. I have to say it worked better but not perfect: I needed a new seal for the air valve. I tried the seal of one of the two other brushes and.... the old dirty, clogged and unusable Super 63 worked fine again!!
I also cleaned up the other two Super 63. The "medium used" one was dirty with paint dry too, but it was in better condition that the previous one. The "unused" one was in great condition and I only have had to cleaning the
grease/lubricant that it still had inside.
All of them work perfect (but a little hard for my hand, used to the softness of iwata).
Ups...I apologize for writing such a long text
