Smitty,
I put together my first pen in a few months tonight and it was one of your Classic Vintage kits. Even though they are convertible, I have always used the rollerball refill and tonight I decided to go for it and do the fountain. Since it takes about 20 seconds, no big thing, but thanks for helping me make my first fountain pen!
Anyway, my question is about the brass tube and spring. . . I had always assumed they were used for the fountain pen part and not the rollerball, but tonight they didn't seem to matter either.
What am I missing?!?!?! My rollerball versions work fine without the spring and brass tube and the fountain pen seems to work fine too. I'm just confused and don't know what I've missed.
Thanks!
Sandy.
