After a short break earlier, I went back to the shop and turned another customer's pen, a Sapelle slimline in chrome. Got thru with Fangar finishing and began assembly. Put the
nib in, inserted the transmission to the typical depth and screwed the refill in to fine tune it. Huh?!?
Must be gettin' cold, my hands aren't workin'; I can't get the threads started?!?
Pull the refill back out -- oh ch*t, no threads in the dang transmission.
All that work and I don't own a disassembly kit yet. ....
Short story: look at all the parts and make sure the manufacturer did what they're supposed to do else be prepared to spend extra time to correct for their mistakes.
Needless to say, I still wish there was an American-owned, American-made company we could buy kits from.
