I got a little order from Badger today. Needed a new valve assembly for one of my sotars and I've been looking for sewing machine oil aka Badger Needle Juice. I don't remember when or where I picked it up but I had a bottle for years, it didn't make the move. I know some of y'all have mentioned you've never heard of it but it's really light oil, more viscosity than 3n1. It really helps the needle flow through the seal.
I couldn't find the oil by itself but when I searched the website this cleaning kit came up.
Doesn't have a complete listing on the website but I'll give it a run down. Has a nice tray to catch the parts as you disassemble. Comes with a really cheap magnifying glass... I mean really cheap. Some nice cotton swabs and a variety of the micro brushes for cleaning the barrel. Some heavy pads for getting down in the cup. Some cleaning solution, not sure what it is but I'd just as soon use lacquer thinner. And it has the Badger Juice. Oh, also comes with one teflon seal and one o-ring for the air valve, which is really all I needed to fix the valve.
Also comes with a thread seal, looks like some sort of petroleum based lip balm/chapstic stuff.
I cleaned out the sotar better than it's been cleaned before and got it lubed and sealed up. I'll squirt some paint in the next day or so to see how it goes. The action on it feels a lot better now.

Those look cool.
Yeah the Hickory one is a bit far, don't get up that way much anymore. Just as easy for me to get to Augusta. Probably like you going to Hickory.
