I just bought a kit with this, and it wasn't working initially. This video helped me figure out what was wrong with it. I'm totally new to airbrushing. Thanks for the detailed disassembly and reassembly. :)
So something I found out on my Talon, if you look at the needle, as well as the two items that connect on the front (I'm a total newbie the names escape me) there are going to be some grooves, one will have 1 groove, one will have 2 grooves, and the last will have 3 grooves, to help determine which needle goes with each front part.
You're pointing out a usefull feature of the Paasche airbrushes. The dashes on correspond to the three sizes of needle combos. They should be all be the same number. Size 1, size, or size 3
It’s a nozzle, not tip, and its a rear bearing/seal and bearing retainer, and if you have put a wrap of black tape on the needle, then your parts, it aids in getting the bearing retainer started, great video, and thanks for lubing your airbrush, it’s needed. The Paasche Talon, is a very underrated Airbrush, and parts are cheap, and readily available from Paasche! The Talon is built like a Tank, Just a note, your o-ring on the tail piece, is the same as on the air cap!
Mine is super simple. A large cardboard box partially cut out on the top and front. The box has a large square cut out. Against that back opening is a pleated furnace filter and a box fan. I end up changing the furnace filter out every couple years and none of the paint makes it to the fan.
This is NOT how to rebuild a passche. All that oil everywhere you won't be spraying anything but fisheyes everywhere. You do need to lube, but in very specific places. Also, you need to crank up the air using the fan cap.

You're very welcome.

I have the set up for the airbrush booth. Probably a winter project.
