A TRIBUTE TO...
Dear Sirs
I only wanted to make this intervention to salute someone as he deserves it greatly. The person in question is Mister Ken Schlotfeldt, president of Badger and T&C.
To make the story short, I purchased an Omni 4000 from one of your greatest shops and I received it in a breeze; but there was a default in chrome plating ( at least for me ) so digital photographs to the shop to show the detail and see what could be done, Apparently, there was no solution, so i asked for a replacement shell and in the meantime I discarded the airbrush to show it to a chrome plating company in my area...and then I snapped it ( the air duct was no longer set to the body ) .
Now don't misunderstand me : there was no resentment from me, neither to the shop nor to T&C ( I believe that any industrial process can generate a few mistakes, I was just unlucky this time )
And second statement: you can have a part of your bike re-chrome plated but you can throw away a damaged airbrush shell because of the chemical treatment before chrome plating that ruins all the threads.
So I sent an email to Ken S. to tell him what happened. Although he must be a very busy guy, he took time to answer me very quickly and he found a solution for me as quickly as possible, and well beyond my expectations, and he told me that was included in guarantee so no fees at all.
So I would like to take this occasion to thank him publicly : Ken Schlotfeldt, you are a great and good man, thank you very much indeed. I promise I'll send you pictures of models exclusively painted with my Omni as soon as possible.And although I'm not much of a Badger man, thank you for producing such good stuff (specially...Omni 4000)
Thank you all for having read my little odyssey

P.S. This one is for Mike V : Mike, I was happy with my German airbrushes until you perverted me with your recommendations on the Omni 4000; Mike, it's your only fault if I purchased an Omni 4000 and had all these troubles. Thank you very much, Mike, because my now repaired Omni 4000 gives me most pleasure and deserves its place alongside my Evolutions and other Gabbert PRS (and Iwata HPCH ). Don't stop, Mike, pervert other ones and I hope they'll be as happy with their Omni than I am with mine.
