Badger 150

Hi all!

I bought a new-in-the-wood-box Badger 150 off eBay, the one with the three tips included.

The tips are labelled with their sizes (‘fine’, ‘large’, and the unmarked one obviously being ‘medium’), but the needles have no markings on them. How can I tell which needle goes with the right tip? Does, for example, the tip labelled ‘fine’ get the thinnest, sharpest needle, or the think, blunter one? The instructions are pretty useless, don’t describe this at all…

Thanks!

The thinnest, sharpest taper needle is the fine one.
The thick, short-tapered one is the heavy one. [;)]

You can also tell by the grooves in the end of the needle. One groove is fine ( XF ), two grooves are medium ( IL ), and three grooves are heavy ( HD ). Helps alot when you buy replacements that are not labeled correctly, i.e. model shows, swap meets, ebay, etc.
