Umnumzaan o-rings

Interesting thread. My o rings crapped out on a few of my Umnumzaans about a year ago. They look exactly like the OPs pics. What are those o rings in post #15 made of? Hmmm, might run to the Depot tomorrow .

The ones I posted from Amazon last forever.
 
Now I'm going to be checking out the rings on all my Zaans. :o

Good info in here, guys! :thumbup:

I got the O-rings the OP sent me, and he's not kidding. They are quieter. I put a pair the he sent me on my user Zaan, and could immediately tell a difference. Not anything drastic, but it was there.

Thanks, makariotes!

You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help. The one I got from you got totally silent after I put them on, weird.
 
I picked up these at Home Depot. Less than $3 for 10 of them. They seem to work OK on my Umnum. Looking at them closely I could see that some seemed to be just a hair bigger than others. I tried to get the two that looked the best to me.

Anyone want a couple of these? I'm happy to send a couple out via snail mail. Just need an address.
