Hi Folks, Happy Easter!
My Sotars arrived yesterday and only took a week to get here (US to Holland). I ordered 2 in the end so that I'd not have to worry about spare parts. In the box was a complete Sotar, a spare needle and a 2 pronged needle protector. I'd ordered a Badger air line converter which came the day before so I'm ready to go. I've got a bit of a cold so I've not tried it yet, but will let you know my findings after I have.
My first impressions are very good, I didn't have trouble with loosening parts as some people mentioned they did. I haven't done a full strip down and lube yet but the trigger feels smooth enough straight from the box. I really like being able to get at the needle without taking the back off, easy to get rid of tip clogs without having to turn the paint limiter back and I can easily pull the needle tip inside the body at days end to protect it.
One thing though, both needles had slight bent tips (in airbrush and spare), but I polished them which also straightened them no worries. Thought I mention it in case anyone has problems spraying first time out.
Cheers Mel
