                        I had a 470 go bad not to long ago and they replaced it no questions asked. I just needed to get the RMA for it. Very nice to know that lifetime guarantee really worked out ok.

                        Then sell it on Ebay and buy an Omni. Big Smile [:D]Wink [;)]

                        From what Ive heard Testors has great service concerning the Aztek....You should get your new body soon with no hassles.

                        Call Testors up and ask for an RMA #. They have very good service and will send you a replacement after you get the RMA# and return the broken airbrush back to them. If it works great for you then keep using it. The internal air leak seems to be a problem with these airbrushes. I had one replaced last year. I got a couple of new airbrushes last month, but there's no need to shell out more money if it works fine with you. Just get it replaced under warranty.

                        go with kik36 my friend. see if you can get your (or your brother's) $100+ bucks back and buy yourself a decent brush like the omni 4000 or 5000. i have the 5000 and love it. no problems with the quality so far.

                        try www.testors.com I think they may have some info for ya. My Aztek went out last week also.....I just chalked it up as a loss and went for an Omni.

                        I think aztec has lifetime warranty on some of the parts. not sure of that, someone else will know for sure.
