Fibre Tip Refill J9

[RegDiggins]

Does anyone know if there is any way to utilise a Parker Fibre tip pen which took a refill which Parker designated J9 but of course this refill is no longer available and current ballpen and roller ball refills will not fit. I have tried several and the refill barrel is too large in diameter to enter the section.

 

I wondered if anyone has found a way of overcoming this problem .

This company will adapt your pen to take other refills

You may find that the cost exceeds the benefit,

 

I think that you can take the top off a fibre refill and allow a thick ink, such as stamp pad ink, to soak through.

You could try refilling it with following method using a syringe to create a vacuum:

That's a great idea, thanks for the video.

Now I want to see this done with BSB. Has all the hallmarks of an apocalypse.

When I first raised this subject earlier this year I was quite hopeful that the combined experience of all our members around the world would provide an answer.

However it would appear this is not so. Thanks for the suggestion of filling the original refill with different ink, but the point of the enquiry was to replace the original refill with a ballpen refill or a gel pen, or a rollerball, perhaps made by a different company which would sit in the original section and fit in the original barrel.

 

No fibre pen refills are still available so not possible to find one to put new ink in.

 

Perhaps I should accept this is a lost cause.

What about Schmidt?

I think the way to sort it out is the more engineering link above. Then you can use any g2 refill.

Some pens do get left behind as collectibles, like those pens that used half of a Papermate Piggy-Back refill.

There are a few variations of Parker fiber-tip refills, not sure which is considered the "J9" - several are shown in the picture from this thread:

As shown in the picture, Parker made plastic end-adapters that allowed a Jotter-style refill to be used as a replacement for the largest of the refills, and these can still be found for sale, either by themselves or packaged with the Ad Pen.

 

The rise of 3-D printing has brought custom refill adapters to the market for a variety of pens, and at least one is advertised as working with one of the later styles of Parker refill:
