After ten years of use one of the rings that suspends the chaff sweep/swing blade wore through, and replacement Chamber Separators were back-ordered. My local hardware store had no split rings small-enough to make the fix. Then I remembered that I had some Danielson #3 stainless split rings with fishing tackle. These were slightly larger than the original split rings at 5mm inner diameter and 6 mm outer diameter, but are fine and were less-difficult to install than smaller rings. It certainly seemed hazardous to use the roaster with only one ring: thwack! On the glass! Tip: pull out the chamber separator for easier access, separate the end of the ring from the rest of the coiled ring with a pin, then slowly work the ring onto the blade arm, then repeat, attaching it to the swing blade with needle-nose pliers. Perfect! I replaced both rings and have eight more that can be used in the future.

No issues with installation and now back to roasting.

Not much to report. The replacement is exactly the same as the original part. The replacement procedure is simple. It just works.

Always great service from Gene Cafe! I thought I would have to buy a new chamber for $70, but they suggested I just replace the chamber separator which was $15. Very happy customer.

Easy to install. Works great.
