I didnt realize you had the re501.
The graph posted above should fix the issue on setting it back up.

I was l8oking for something like that but it dont mention parts before the bearing cap
Looks like this might have given the answer. If my English Translates correctly it Should be underneth the white seal against the bearing

Seems like these re-501 got alot small design changes bearing cap made diffrent
But ya can properly run witjout it. For the time its life is worth haha.
Im in Europe, properly need to bite the dust and e-mail terry, but thats like asking to buy from one that shits in your face while you give them money.
Thats a sex thing, not parts related… usealy anyhow lol.

In machine shops a lot of tool manufacturers have vending machines stocked with common tool bits and such so the company can track how many each employee goes through.
I want to get one stocked with 34/45 plugs, thermometers, beaker lenses, and these valves lol:

I guess I’m lucky, I don’t need a vending machine, but it would be fun to load it with papers, filters, company lighters, dabs, and weed.
