Thanks for the link, that's interesting to find a place to get parts. Boy, they aren't cheap, though! I had located an HP100C Olympos on ebay, but decided against bidding on it, as I've just scored two T&C model A's and a Wold A2. One of the A's hasn't shown up yet, but I did straighten (sorta) the needle and clean up the other one a couple of days ago, and I'll be durned if the thing didn't spray pretty well. I guess I might have to keep watching for an Olympos one of these days.

Medea the same company that imports Iwata used to be the importer in the US years ago before they started pushing Iwatas, Olympos used to be the airbrush to have at least in my neck of the woods in the late 80's. They used to cost more then Iwatas and where the makers of the original 'micron' They have really nice airbrushes, they are still made but are almost impossible to get in the US. Check the online airbrush shops in Europe as they still sell them and the parts over there. Here is a link for a good online shop http://www.obeeliks.com/index.html?lang=en-gb
Here is a phone number or used to be for the US distributor-503-652-7880. You might be able to use Iwata or Richpen parts as replacement depending on the Olympos model. hope this helps.

I believe they went out of business a few years ago. Getting replacement parts would be a hard thing to do.

olympos airbrushes

What ever happened to Olympos airbrushes? Every once in a while you run across one, but I don't seem to be able to find any info online, etc, on new ones. Did they just fade away?

Would parts be available anywhere if a guy was to pick up a used Olympos and need to replace anything?

I'm more of a collector than a user, I like to fiddle with older airbrushes that need a little TLC.

Thanks for any inptus,
Gordon
