I have been put in a position with a customer who is insisting on the
Americana Duo two color pen from CSUSA. I appreciate all who helped me locate the pen the customer wanted.
My question is this...there are no instructions available on the CSUSA website for this pen specifically. I am presuming that it is
similar to the Americana Pen but there has to be differences because it takes two different drill bits than the regular Americana, different tubes, and it has a different transmission that holds two "mini Cross" refills.
Any information any one has would be greatly appreciated. Nils if you are reading this I'd appreciate input from you.
Does anyone know how length sensitive the kit is?
Are there any quirks I should know about?
Anyone have any suggestions for a coating for the nib that will make the finish more lasting? 3 1/2 on Nils Scale is not encouraging when your reputation is on the line.
I wouldn't make this pen routinely but I have an established customer who has a special need. I hate to be an aggravator but I really need some help here. Gotta order the parts from the West Coast, ship the finished product to Japan and of course we are working with a deadline. So if I need to order 5 kits to get one pen I really need to know...
Thanks

PS Nils anyone who would be using this pen would be someone like a teacher or someone in the workplace setting who will be using it heavily and only having it available in the 10KT is really a downside. A pen intended for heavy use should be available in the more durable finishes...at least chrome.
