A friend of mine brought me a pen to repair....don't know who it was purchased from. It appears to be the Berea kit referenced in the title; but it could be the PSI Classic Rollerball as they look almost identical. Whoever made the pen had a bad day. Hardware is loose in the tubes, wood is proud of the hardware and not quite round and the finish is mediocre. Were it it anyone else. I would advise them to trash is and let me sell them a good pen. But that might sound a little self-serving so I am going to help the guy out if I can.
The biggest problem is that the metal to metal threads don't seem to want to snug up and the cap keeps unscrewing. Is this a defective kit or is there a basic design flaw? I looked at the PSI pen on the PSI web page and it seems to come with a little O-Ring that might have been designed to keep the cap from unscrewing.
Anyone have any experience with this kit or thoughts on a solution? Thanks.
