Jr. Gent Problems

[stevers]

Hey All,
Any one else having trouble with the fit of the theaded end caps on the Jr. Gent? I ordered a couple of 10k fountains for demos, and the end cap is off quite a ways. The cap only screws on a third of a turn or so and gets so tight it wont go. It wont seat down and dosent cover the ring on the end cap. I noticed the last couple I got were a little tight so when I called about a BO, I asked Emily about it. She told me she noticed it too but said it was not so bad they were concerned yet. The last two are much worse though.
Its not anything I did, I didnt cross thread it or anything like that.

I have the rollerballs and they were a little tight but still seated. [?] Sorry to hear yu are having problems...I was going to order some more...everyone likes these pens so far

I'd ask CS USA for a replacement. There's no excuse for the threads not working.

Im going to be calling in the next day or two. Ill let you know how it goes.

I had 11 of these ,and when they fixed the threading problem they sent out replacement center pieces. E-mail Nils at craft supply he will send replacements. Reed

I thought these were the new batch, they are only a week old.

I know CSUSA will fix the problem for you.

As many of you know, the Jr. Gent/Statesman 2's have been working great since we had started using the fixed part. It's possible that some may have slipped by without receiving the right part but all of the ones we've tested have threaded very smoothly. Steve has contacted me and we'll be taking care of this.

Yes he is, thanks Nils. Their service is outstanding folks. Using CSUSA was the best advise i'v gotten in a while. Thanks for the recomomdation.
