And now for something completely different.....

Yeah i think the only thing badger has an edge on Iwata in is customer service. glad you got your problem worked out.

Update: I sent an e-mail directly to Badger to ask their help. This (Badger) is a great company. They referred me to a company called Wyn-Wyn Inc. on the Internet now as webairbrushes.com (I think). That's the company I bought the Omni from at a really good price in the first place.
The part I'm after only costs $2.20 , but Wyn-Wyn is willing to ship it to me ($4.00)!
Next time you're looking for a new airbrush or any parts, these people would be a darn good choice. Absolutely first rate. Just my .

Sorry, I think it's a 6000 - side feed.
Anyway I tried both of those places and Bearair doesn't list it, and Dixieart wasn't willing to ship to Canada because they have a minimum for international orders. Tanks anyway guys.

Ditto ... You sure it isn't an Omni 3000 (bottom feed) or 6000 (side feed)? The 4000 and 5000 have fixed gravity feed cups.

A mystery to me as well. I did make an adapter from some aluminum tubing to fit an Aztek color cup into my Badger 200's siphon feed, making the thing almost effectively a side feed. From looking at photos of the Omni 5000, the concept would not seem to apply.

try www.bearair.com or www.dixieart.com, dixieart won't be processing orders for another week or so due to the hurricane in New Orleans... but I suspect one of the two will have it...
