Like I told Chris, I was fixing to start scrounging an old ball point pen with a spring in it

I am WAY to hard headed to learn a lesson that easily. After all, I found it so the lesson was immediately forgotten. Besides, if it was that easy my basement wouldn't have tiny little model parts scattered all over it. I keep holding them with tweezers, knowing full well that the spring action of a pair of tweezers can launch them into the next county.

I see.

Glad you found it and hopefully learned your lesson.

It's the "Back Spring", part number T611 on this drawing: http://www.badgerairbrush.com/omni%20parts.htm

It fits over the "Needle Tube" and I forgot about it being there when I picked up the needle tube.

It didn't fall out, I took it out. When I thoroughly clean my airbrush all of the guts come out. I like to put a little needle lube on the pivot points and the lever that leans against the trigger.

Scott,

Yeah, tell me about it! Painting camo and the only store in town that might have them closed today and tomorrow! I was fixing to start hunting for the old-style ballpoint pens with the springs in them. Not sure if it would have worked, but not having a spring sure wouldn't have.

WOW, that was a close one scott!!!
