      I've had to restring one that broke on me. You can get a ten pack at Home Depot for $2.48.

      These #13 O-Rings (10-Pack) measure 7/8 in. OD x 11/16 in. ID and have a 3/32 in. wall thickness. They have a durable rubber construction with a black finish. Inside diameter is 0.6875 in.

          I took apart a mego 2.0 and it appeared to use an o ring of approx one inch diameter.

            Thanks guys. I know Doc sells them, but it's not really worth it unless I'm doing a big order from him. I just wanna swing by Lowes and grab a couple.

                I found a pack of 1" diameter ones. They are perfect on vintage ones. Seem a little loose on Emce tho.

                  Danco #12 is the ideal size.Repaired a number of type 2’s with this size.
                  Take two mego's and call me in the morning.
