Is the Jr.Retro discontinued? I always wanted to make one
Toni, as some have noted the Jr vII tubesets are identical for the Jr Statesman, the Jr Gent vII, the Jr Gent Retro, and can be used in a pinch for the Jr Emperor, the Jr Majestic, and the Triton though each of these last three require some tweaking for tube length...
JR Gent tubes can be used AS IS with the Triton by using 2 roller ball springs or a longer spring than the one that comes with the Triton.

.. or if you are in the middle of assembly and just figured this out, you can
stre-e-e-e-tch the spring out a little.
(or so I've heard..) :redface:
That does work, Charlie. However, I recommend a longer spring because the Triton spring is a little "wimpy" and provides a "mushy" write with the regular length barrel.
To my knowledge, the Triton is the only kit that offers additional springs for stand alone purchase. I figure the Mfg. knows that a single spring in this unit is too "bouncy". Just my opinion.
