I have made my 6th Gatsby pen. It looks great without the ink refill. My problem is that the ink refill doesn't go into the transmission properly, sticks out about half an inch, and does not retract at all when the barrel is turned.
How do you disassemble a Gatsby twist pen? I'd like to replace the transmission and see if that fixes the problem, but I cannot figure out how to get the current one out of the tube.
I've found directions for a Sierra by Texatdurango: http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5191, but I can't figure out how to complete step 1 for the Gatsby.
