Any hardware store in their plumbing section. Home Depot, Ace, Lowe's etc. The best bet is to bring one with you.

#9 O-ring 5/8" O.D. x 7/16" I.D. x 3/32" #96726 is the Home Depot O rings I got that work well.

though cheaper to go the Ebay route even with shipping sometimes.....I know someone here in Denver area that is selling Joe O-rings...so might do a localized GI Joe search on your ebay and see if someone local might be selling a lot of just o-rings....

Before we had internet in the 90's, I used to get them at home depot, # 8 for 82-84, and #9 for 85 and up. They used to be about 29-35 cents back then. Definitely cheaper to buy in bulk.

cool, thanks ... I only need a few, and when I've ordered small electronic parts, it somehow takes forever.

The ones we sell at ACE are the same size, but slightly thicker.

I bought a bag of 100 rings on eBay for $4 shipped. Locally, I'd pay $4 for only a small few.

I was just watching a video on some mechanic tips. He said that he doesn't black o-rings he replaces them with green Air Conditioning o-rings. He said the last longer because they withstand very low temperatures and very high temperatures. I think the green ones might last longer in Joes and withstand the temperature and moisture changes that make them go brittle and crumbly.
