Replacement Aristo Pacific Drive Rods
Posted by wallyworld on Tuesday, June 20, 2006 8:18 AM
I have one of the original Aristo Pacifics- is it possible to obtain a replacement drive rod set?

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

Go to the aristo site at http://www.aristocraft.com see the phone number, call it and ask for parts dept. They might be able to find one for you.

Thanks much- the Pacific has been sidelined for some time.

Doesn't it run?

According to your profile, you're not quite 20 miles NorthWest of me.

I moved back to North Carolina. I forgot to update my profile. It does run but the side rods are defunct on one side as well as the kapupt smoke generator. I have a Aristo ABA FA set in various stages of defunctatude that is also sidelined but the LGB stuff just keeps going and going... I just called them (LGB) on a issue and they were really helpful folks...I think the Pacific is going to the scrap line..parts appear to be a hassle to get in terms of ease of ordering etc.
