Older model 200 Badger

Cool airbrush.  According to the Airbrush Musuem, Thayer & Chandler started in 1891 follewed in 1904 by Paasche.  Badger started in 1963 and in 2000 bought Thayer & Chandler who had closed up two years previously in 1998.

Cool old airbrush!

That's definitely the "new" 100 series head with the "crown" spray regulator. That should be easily replaced with the "flat" regulator from the 200-20 (Badger PN 50-0370, Dixie Art PN 9950-0370 (at least it should be, Dixie Art add the prefix 99 to the Badger numbers) or Bear Air PN 111558).

When I get home tonight I'll see if that works.

I painted a lot of model rockets and a few model cars with that airbrush back in the late 60's - early 70's. 

My dad had fixed me up with a compressor from an old freezer, and an air tank made from a freon bottle.  The freezer compressor has long since died, but i dug out the freon bottle / regulator a few days back.  Right now it's in my basement with a Badger 180-11 compressor hooked to it.  Pretty quiet, and works like a champ.   I am going to set it up with a new regulator, more suited to airbrush use.  The current regulator is intended to be used at higher pressures, has a 160 PSI gauge on it.  I've got a little Norgren unit, intended for 5-50 PSI with a 60 PSI gauge that makes more sense.  

If you've already got the regulator, then go ahead and swap it out. I use an el cheapo $10 unit that goes to 160psi. I only use 10-20% of the gauge, but good enough for my work.

I swapped out the spray regulators with no problem whatsoever. The part numbers I listed above will get you the right part!

I've already got the regulator, it was my Dad's.  I think he got it along with the 180-11 compressor, probably from tower hobbies.  Most likely the one Badger sells. 

It did my heart good to dig out that old freon bottle tank and hook it up - Dad made that for me probably 35 years ago if not more.  :)
