Seasoned Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Leeuwarden, The Netherlands | Etek solenoid o-rings
I recently got an Etek 1 for cheap. It had a leaky solenoid, and I intend to fix it. I've determined the problem to be a worn o-ring on the outer side of the solenoid spool (one of the two larger ones). I'm aware oring monkey sells a solenoid oring kit (***Oringmonkey.com Oring Kits Paintball Marker O Ring Kits***-ORING KITS-• Planet Eclipse-► Ego9-Oringmonkey.com Planet Eclipse Ego SOLENOID O Ring Kit) but I'm not to keen on spending $20 in shipping for a couple of o-rings... So I'm wondering if anyone knows the size of this o-ring so I might be able to find it locally... Or would it just be best to contact Planet Eclipse in the UK?

I'm not sure on the etek 1, but when the spool in the noid of my etek 2 started leaking my only solution was to replace the entire noid.......

Thanks guys! I just found out there is a PE certified dealer near Amsterdam that might be able to help me out. I would really like to avoid having to get a new solenoid since they're almost more expensive that this gun is worth...

Right, contacted the local dealer and they don't know the size of the o-ring I need... ![]() So if anyone knows what size it is, that would be greatly appreciated! To be more clear, I'm talking about the ones at either end of the spool (https://files.planeteclipseb2b.com/ma...-MANUAL-EN.pdf - see Fig 5.63 - 5.65 on page 33)

Heh, I was stupid! Or actually, the last owner was and I didn't notice! The problem wasn't the o-ring (which I think still looks kinda bad...). No, the actual problem was with the magnet coil part being on the noid upside down, and thus not sealing properly. I never suspected that was possible and never checked. Noticed it only by accident as I disassembled the noid again! Now I've got myself a perfectly fine Etek for very little money! ![]()
