Neo for Iwata CN replacement body?

[tatocorvette]

Hello,

Sometimes, fellow local scale modelers reach out to me for help with airbrushes. This particular fellow has a big problem. The part where the nozzle screws is broken in his Neo for Iwata CN. From what I can see, that is part of the body, not a separate part. And it seems the body itself is not sold separately. Does anybody knows if Iwata sell replacement bodies? If so, would it make sense? I'm also looking on ebay to see if I can find a beaten unit for parts.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ismael

I checked a few online airbrush shops in Europe and as far as I can tell no one sells just a replacement body for the Neo CN my best bet would be to find a secondhand Neo CN airbrush and go from there

Did the nozzle break off in the post, or did the post break? Nozzles can be broken pretty easy, but the part is usually not too difficult to get out of the body. If the post is busted, Neo's can usually be found kind of cheap on ebay...

Thank you both! He sent me a picture and the post is destroyed beyond hope. I searched for a few days and found an open box "like new" for $50 shipped. Told him that would be probably be the cost of a body only if ever found or a beaten one so he bought it.

Thanks,
Ismael
