M205 Clear Demonstrator: Caps

[DAYoung]

G'day FPN folks,

 

I hope you're all well -- long time, no chat.

 

I have a problem, and perhaps you can help. The cap from my M205 clear demonstrator recently broke (see image). I've started a WTB thread here, but I thought I'd ask: does anyone know where to source these parts? I know the M205 is discontinued, but perhaps someone has a stash of bits, somewhere.

 

Best,

 

Damon

Wow, that's unfortunate; I'm so sorry for your loss.

 

As you've said, since the M205 clear demo has been discontinued for quite a long time, there aren't many reliable sources for them anymore. You can continue looking online and through WTB offers, or perhaps ask either your local Pelikan distributor or Pelikan HQ in Hannover for the cost of replacement. Another option is to use the identical M200/M400 cap of pens that are currently made (i.e. http://www.pelikanpens.co.uk/acatalog/Pelikan-Souver-n-M400-Cap.html), but that is of course not ideal as it won't match the rest of your pen.

 

I wish you luck on your search!

Thanks, Songyi. Yes, I asked a Pelikan dealer, who had no stock. He told me he received a 'no' from Pelikan too. But there must be one *somewhere*.

 

Fingers crossed.

That's a bad break. Sorry for your misfortune. These are over a decade old now and long discontinued. I think you would be hard pressed to come across a stand alone cap. You would probably have better luck finding a whole new M205 demo. They come up for sale on eBay every once in a while. You never know though and of course someone might answer an ad. I know of no resources for one of these. Hope you can get it sorted out. Good luck.

Cheers, Sargetalon. Yes, I suspect you're right. But I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.
