Replacement O-Ring For Bottom Screw Assembly


ppdiaporama

Recommended Posts

Where can one get replacement o-rings for the bottom assembly of the Vac700?

 

The pen comes with two ... in my case, the one installed on the pen was already broken ... then the first spare broke when I reinstalled it ... that leaves the last spare safely installed on my pen. Given that I've chewed through two already, I am holding off on diassembling the pen until I find a replacement.

 

I wrote to TWSBI last Monday but did not get a response.

 

I've looked throug the forum to find the answer ... I strolled the aisles of several hardware stores and I even compared to the elastics that my daughter uses to make bracelets, but I can't find anything as small as the ones supplied.

 

Thanks for your help ... Pat

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
