WTB: CPS 2500 Nozzle

[martianshark]

I didn't realize it when I bought it, but the nozzle selector on my CPS 2500 is missing. The screw hole that holds the nozzle selector in place is destroyed, so I believe the only way to fix that is to replace the entire nozzle section. Does anyone have a hopelessly broken 2500 that they could take the front off for me? Or just the nozzle part of a 2500?

Yeah, I have seen a few shameless/clueless ebay sellers with 2500's just like yours. The screw breaks free and the selector is lost.

Left to Right: Nozzle Selector, Nozzle Cover, front half of the firing chamber +laminator. Not pictured: 2 springs, 2 retainers, 1 o ring, and screw for selector.

Unfortunately, as you can see, the screw hole is a part of the laminator and the hard chamber/firing valve. You could do what Duke did with his CPS2025/2520 , and replace the front half of the valve along with the nozzle cover . Also, if you can get a nozzle selector (or make one), you can make a new nut/bolt assembly, glue it to the laminator, and screw it on. I know that someone on here has done that before. That being said, usually when a CPS 2500 is missing the nozzle selector it is also missing the two 'retainers' (the spring-loaded plastic nubs which hold the nozzle at the chosen setting). That is a little harder to find.
