I had an old friend pass away yesterday. He and I have known each other since 1986. It seems like yesterday and not 31 years. We used to work together quite and bit and he was always there when I needed him. Anyway, he'll be sorely missed.

You would have never known that he was sick, but he is gone, nevertheless. There were no outward indications of anything wrong. As a matter of fact he was, in all appearances, in excellent shape and not all banged up or worn out like most his age. That alone makes me sad because there was no indications of anything being wrong. Perhaps if there had been I would have recognized it and at least been there to help. I may have been able to save his life if I had only known.

I don't know for sure when he will finally be laid to rest, there have been no decisions made, yet. All I know is that he is GONE!

If I had the ability I would raise him from the dead, but, alas, it is not to be. It is impossible to do so.

So, unless someone here has a source for a BC178 Bumper and a LB3499 seal my Senco SN325 framing nailer is officially dead.

Rest in Peace my little friend. :frown::frown::frown::frown::frown::frown:

I'm really sorry for your loss Bill. As we get older these things unfortunately do happen. Even though we make new friends along the way, it is not the same.

Herb, Herb, Herb...I love you! The link for the LB3499 led me to a gentleman in NC that not only has the seal, but also the bumper. So, I have ordered the parts (including a new "O" ring kit).

It looks like my old friend may just rise from the dead...hmmmm, maybe it's prophetic...it is Easter.

I was at my wits end and a lot of DEAD ENDS.

Thanks, buddy!

Here is the link to the place where I found the parts.

The owners name is William Hendricks and he, also, sells on eBay. He even has a YouTube video on rebuilding the SN325

Well said.

Ahhh yes; the infamous 'dead' nailer...

Mr. Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.

Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?

Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!

Owner: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.

Mr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

Owner: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!

Mr. Praline: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.

Owner: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!

Mr. Praline: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the cage) 'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...

(owner hits the cage)

Owner: There, he moved!

Mr. Praline: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!

Owner: I never!!

Mr. Praline: Yes, you did!

Owner: I never, never did anything...

Dan - the owner of that pet shop sounds a lot like Basil Fawlty - let's see who's stumped.

Sounds like Monty Python's Dead Parrot Skit.

I thought this crowd would know it off by heart!

I almost didn't finish the post and was going to reply with all sorts of supporting things...

Then as I finished it I felt REALLY bad and started preparing a flight to be by your side. I couldn't but feel your pain and would have done anything to support you.

Good to see Herb jumped in there to resurrect your dear friend...

This thread is proof-positive that this forum has some of the most unique members on the net. Notice I said unique and not "sick"...

...got me good... ��
