Jr.Gent pencil stockists?

[philb]

Hi,

So anyone know of stockists of the Jr.Gent Rhodium Pencil? Ive bought them from CSUSA before but they haven't had any in for a while?

Cheers

Phil:
I have not seen the Jr. Gent pencil in sometime. However, I am almost certain that the Schmidt Pencil Mechanism can be converted to work in the Jr. Gent Ballpoint. This can be accomplished by following the instruction for converting a Sierra or Perfect Fit twist. These instructions are on the web. At one point these instructions were in the library, here. I just can't seem to find the tutorial.

I hope this helps!

Phil,
The Jr gent ballpoint can be either a ballpoint or pencil by design. Take a look on the CSUSA website.

Hi,

The Ballpoint version is not a staright swap over for the Schmidt pencil Mechanism, I know the write-up reads like that!

The Centre Coupler and the End-Cap are different? Thanks for looking though, Ill search for the article you mention PENMAN

They fooled me and I stand corrected. It looks like the transmission is different also. The sierra conversion may work. I think I have a jr gent ballpoint and I may check it out. The conversion will not have an eraser like the pencil. The ballpoint cap scrrews into place and the pencil appears to slide on and off to get access to the eraser.

Here is the Sierra style conversion if that helps you.

This warrants a call to CSUSA technical support. They list this as a pen or pencil, but do not include instructions on pencil assembly.

I have a couple if Jr ballpoints and a few Schmidt mechanisms. I'll try the "Sierra" conversion this week. I'll also call CSUSA for clarification.

Hello Phil; I have 1 of CS USA's Jr. Gent Pencil in Rhodium (item # 050-0377) that I have no need for! (It seemed like a good idea at the time:biggrin It cost me $21.00 CDN at the time of purchase. You are welcome to it for $20.00 CDN + mailing costs.

I see you are in the UK, so it may not be worth your while!

Thread revival!! Anyone successfully found out if the conversion is possible, or any other stockists?

Ive tried the Schmidt mechanism/insert in the Ballpoint style Jr.Gent, but its a couple of MM too long for the mechanism to fully thread down. Also it doesn't seem to engage the twist part of the pencil insert?

Did you try the conversion method mentioned in post 7, et al.
