Jr. Emporer & Jr Statesman

[Blind_Squirrel]

Can anyone tell me if the Jr. Emporer and the Jr. Statesman have the same tubes? I measured them and the tops came in 0.001 apart in diameter. The bottoms have the same diameter but are 0.010 difference in length. While I attribute this to tolerences, I would like confirmation.

Thanks.

Since both kits use the same drill bits, which should amaze Frank!!!!, the length of the tubes should be the determining factor. CSUSA does list the tubes for each kit with different stock numbers.

CSUSA shows them with different part #'s --where the Jr Gent and Jr statesman are the same. That being said all three call for the same drill bits????????????
Clear as mud right

I'm hoping someone has one of each (I used my last Jr. Emp.) and can measure them.

I get these numbers,checked on new kits,
and double checked to replacement tubes from
a different order.
Jr Statesman:upper 1.892 long,
Jr Statesman:lower 2.088 long

Jr Emp:upper 1.855 long
Jr Emp:lower 2.089 long

Hope this helps,be careful!

My Jr. Emperor tubes measure:
1.855 x.482
2.090 X .402

Jr. Statesman
1.891 x .482
2.090 x .402

Thanks All! I pulled the tubes from a Jr. Emp. & a Jr. Statesman at the same time to work on, then couldn't tell which is which. It looks like the only difference is the slight length of the uppers.

Which should be of little worry, that is so slight I have seen more diffrence in the same kits than that!

BAck to the topic (since I NEVER stray).

Length is relatively immaterial if you are making a fountain pen.

Careful, if you are making the rollerball, the "nib length" could be a little different on the two kits - that would make the length different.

You can always add a longer spring if the pen (rollerball version) is too long - you're screwed if the pen is too short (WORDS OF WISDOM)!!!
