I've turned over 50 Jr. Gents, all bought from CSUSA. I have only had a problem with one , BUT it's the second time on the same pen.
The pen is for one of my best customers, who is a second generation pen aficionado.
The first comeback was the inside threaded portion, was broken threaded section of the plastic/or what ever. It broke right at the top of the threads near the thin part of the piece, I disassembled ti cap, and robbed a kit for the extra part and gently pressed it in.
Yesterday about 2 months later the same thing happened, only this time I notices the plastic threads of section/ grip had started ti unwind, which I thought strange, I've done well over a hundred of the Jr !! series of pens, a lot from Aaron and a large lot from CSUSA, and have never had any problems quite like this.
One time however I did have an ill mannered and even less intelligent person try and pull a Jr. Retro apart, all that happened was the entire plastic part came out of the cap.
I would show a picture of the damaged female portion of the cap, but after knocking it out with a transfer punch, it's rather hard to see any damage caused prior to removal.
So I have Two questions.
1 has any thing like this happened to any one else?
2 does any one have any of the cap pieces for Jr's.
This fellow is without question my very best customer he buys 15 to 20 pens a year, so I have to find a way to fix this for good. I even thought about turning and threading a piece of HDPE, but I'm still going to have to replace the front section since the threads came off of it.
