Jr Gent II and RtroConvertion

[RDH79]

I done a search but came up nothing. Is it possible to convert Jr Gent II and retro rollerball s to fountian pens. If so can I just but the parts I need. I have about 12 rollerballs madeandwould like to even them out with fountians. I have never seen any place to buy the parts separately Thanks Rich H.

If any of the Jr.Gents are Copper, I'd trade some fountain pen parts for some rollerball parts.

The nib sections swap out between the two, so yes, they are easily convertable.

However, The nib sections are only sold with the kits. So you'll have to buy extra kits (fountain pen kits) and swap some, or find someone (like the person above) to trade with.

Sorry Tom None are copper. O well my luck. I'll have to order some kits then Thanks Rich H.

I think I heard that the baron fountain sections also can plug into a gent kit. You might want to verify that, but pretty sure that's correct.

I just tried it. It does work.

Ok, thanks Neil. Now my next thought is you can probably buy Baron fp kits cheaper than Gent ones and just pull out the nib sections. Might at least save you a couple dollars.

I don't know about you guys but I can tell the difference in most of the plating colors between the suppliers. I mean the Ti Gold from Berea isn't an exact match for the Ti Gold From CSUSA. The platinums are very close, but I can still see a diff in the platings.

I would probably just go and buy the Jr Gent fountain kits and switch them around, that way you haven't wasted anything and if you don't want the rollerball kits, someone will always buy them. Possibly me.
