Hello,
I could use a little advise from someone who has some experience with the Berea flat top pen. I just ruined 3 transmissions assembling the pen. I realize that the size of the barrels is critical so I was very careful ( at least I thought I was). The problem seems to occur when the transmission and post for the clip are pressed into the upper barrel. If I press the clip post and transmission together and thread onto lower barrel the pen will extend and retract properly but when I press the transmisson and clip post into upper barrel and screw it onto the lower barrel the refill not extend and retract.It ruins the transmission. I think maybe I'm making the upper barrel to short but I'm not sure. I hope I'm expressing myself clearly. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
jim
