Was there ever a build thread started for this? I just picked on up and would love to see how to make it serviceable again.

I bought used Atlas PV-10PX a while back and one cylinder is leaking, slowly but leaking. I'd like to put new seals in both sides since it's going on 8 years old. Greg Smith folks aren't answering me at the number on the contact page. Does anyone here know how to identify what seals I'll need...

Will do, thanks

Best I can tell it's either a very old HF unit or what HF copied. There are some differences. The upper half for instance is all welded together and the features are in different places. That said, the HF units are too small as well.

Fair statement, the ad shows they cover a 10" spread of a hand. My hands barely fit even when I get them on.

I need to replace the gloves on my blast cabinet so I bought some gloves off of amazon that are supposedly XXL and I can't get my hands through the wrist opening..... Any have a good source for blast gloves for large hands that aren't sized for a "normal" wrist?

Sounds good folks. I'll clean it up as best I can and re-lube it properly. Thanks for the help.

Someone, I won't say who :wtf:, used my mightyvac to flush brake fluid and at one point, but the cap for the resivoir on backwards and sucked brake fluid into the tool. The main part comes apart easily enough and I've cleaned it out, but I'm not sure what to do about the gauge itself. If I just...

I've converted these all to LED already, just need the cover. Thanks for the info though. I may have to just get another one, but I'd like it to at least "look" close to the other 11 hanging from my shop ceiling. :)

Thanks for the tips everyone. The only stickers I can find say they are "simkar". I googled that and found an old government auction where someone bought like 150 of them for a couple of hundred bucks. I sent an email to the closest rep but never got, nor do I expect, a response. At this...

That's a good idea, thanks.

As the title says, I'm looking for a source for replacement ballast covers. I only need 1, and it looks like this. Anyone know where to get them?

@Platonic Solid, thanks for the input and advice as always.

Just trying a few things before I buy a box of bulbs or two... My existing fixtures, have shunted tombstones on both ends, tested by observing continuity between the contacts with the wires disconnected and observing a single wire entering the units. I believe then to make no other changes than...

Understood, thanks again! Almost 100 pages of mostly you helping people with this issue speaks volumes. You're help is greatly appreciated. -=C
