Wanted In need of Spindle spring air valve for HP Latex 1500

[azprintguy]

Does anyone know where I can find this part cheaper than HP can offer? Or does anyone have an extra one they would like to sell?
It is the valve for the bars that hold the media on a HP Latex 1500

Hi, I had the same problem and fixed it myself.

You can pull the top and bottom parts apart. Then you'll see a rubber ring. You can clean or replace it.

It worked again for me after that.

or you can buy used one:
