Can anyone point me in the direction where I can pickup a Sheaffer 500 Crimson Glow press bar. I picked up an obviously used one on eBay. Good condition, except the press bar seems to keep coming loose whenever I use the lever. Any help would be appreciated!

Penguin, I don't know on the Bay but if you contact Mr. Bitterman, I think he has one for sale at his webpage? Drop him a PM. He is always of help and a gentleman.

Not that kind of 500, alas. I know that some of the parts suppliers offer generic j-bars, but I'm entirely too bleary this morning to reason out whether they'd serve in that era of Sheaffer (six hours trapped in a building with a score of bagpipers = low brain function).

edit: Woodbin and Tryphon are the sources I was thinking of, if I can be said to have been thinking at all.

hi, check this guy and drop him a question, maybe he has what you're looking for.
