Badger airbrush

Seems to me that the simplest way is to compare it to the existing line up at the Badger site. The single action Badger has the air valve and trigger at an angle to the body, while the dual action are perpendicular.

I did do a comparison, and the 200 has the trigger at an angle. But what puzzles me is how the bottle is attached to the body. On the Badger site the body of the 200 has an angled part at the bottom where the bottles "push" into. Mine is straight off the body ,not angled, and the bottles are threaded, with the bottle being a female thread and the body part male threaded. Thats what made me wonder about if it was a Model 200 or not.

If you can't figure it out, try sending an e-mail to productservice@badgerairbrush.com.  It sounds like you could use a little refresher on airbrush theory.  You might want to have a look at my website.

I believe the early models had the threaded attachment, but that was changed quite a while ago. Don's right, send an email to the provided address and they will help you out.

Sounds like it's been a VERY long time!

My old Badger single-action brush (over thirty years old) also does not have a model number on it.  However, comparing it to the current model descriptions in their catalog, I find, other than a few cosmetic differences it seems equivalent to a 200. I have used the 200 washers in it successfully.

Speaking of those teflon washers, I suspect you need a new one. I find when my brush starts acting odd, with inconsistant results, it is time to replace that washer/seal. I keep a supply of a couple always on hand.  When I use one I order another so that I will always have one at a critical time.

"They're really nice people- treated me well."

Understatement of the year.    I mean, we can debate Airbrush X versus Y all day long but there is no question Badger is the absolute best company to deal with, period!  I wish every company I deal with (in general) had their level of integrity and customer-centric focus.

Very well said.  I have had nothing but good service from Badger.  I love that company.  Ken really knows how to do customer service - they don't even laugh at me when I call with a ridiculously simple problem that I can't figure out ('Umm, sir, could you try hooking your airbrush up to the compressor?' "Compressor??  Oh, is that humming thing on the floor that blows air?  Hm, I thought it was some new-fangled air-conditioner"...).

Yup, Badger will have me as a loyal customer not only because they make a good product, but because their service is, hands down, among the best I've ever received.
