Hi everyone, I picked up three airbrushes from eBay, the person selling them sold them as spare not working. 1# is a Royal Sovereign RS-702 2# is a Paasche Millennium 3# is a Paasche type VL So I’ve got the RS-702 working but it’s missing the trigger I temporarily used one of the other triggers and got the unit to spray water and cleaner. But I can’t find any info about the make or where I could get spares from does anyone know this unit. The Millennium I’ve also managed to get working with water and cleaner after stripping it down and cleaning. This is a syphon type and I personally don’t really like this type so might look and reselling. The VL is in a bad way and needs a really good clean so I’ve stripped it all down and it’s soaking in some cleaner to see if I can shift some of the crap that the previous owner left on the unit.

Mustang, Please be careful, in what and for how long you soak these items as sometimes the cleaner destroys the airbrush seals before it removes the old paint. This is a voice of a bad experience speaking.  I looked in the bottom of the cleaning pot and thought "WOW" look at all that muck I got out of there, only to find out I`d destroyed the inner seals in only 10 minutes.

Hi Derek, Good advise, but don’t worry I’ve stripped it completely down and removed all the seals so it’s just the metal unit in soak. My Favourite Building:- 1919 https://forum.model-spac...=339517&#post339517 -

Good advise, but don’t worry I’ve stripped it completely down and removed all the seals so it’s just the metal unit in soak. Phew, Thank goodness for that. Worried I may have been to late. I used plain water in an ultrasonic cleaner and had small parts of seals all over the place. Hope you get some decent results for your outlay.

Well done Ian,
it just goes to show that with a little bit of patience, resolve and perseverance, we can usually get this sort of kit back up and running. I admire your skills with this.
