Hooking up a Badger Sotar to a Paache compressor . . .

Post by MillenniumFalsehood »

I got a great airbrush (so I'm told by the brochure) at Wonderfest as a door prize: a Badger Sotar 20/20. It looks to be a dream to wield, and I can't wait to get started with it.

Thing is, I can't hook it up to my Paache model D-100 compressor's included hose. Does anyone know what adapter I should use to get this thing to interface with my new brush?

You need a part called "Adaptor, Badger-Paasche hose". I think both Badger and Paasche make a version. I believe that the Paasche part number is PA-A-151.

An example from the UK ishere but you should be able to find a US supplier easily enough.

Have a look at http://www.coastairbrush.com . I've had good dealings with them in the past.

If you haven't already found the A-151 adapter, I can send you one that I picked up on clearance at Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago. Send me a PM and I'll get it right out to you. For free, of course!

edit: I just noticed that this was quite a cold thread, but if you still need the adapter, it's yours.
