Mb 145 Question


kandarp

Recommended Posts

On a different subject, I have an excellent MB 145 with its Chompin Box for sale. Asking price $200 Shipped, anyone interested. </Sarcasm>

 

:roflmho:

 

What happens if the seller refuses to help, would eBay override him and get me a refund? (I wish I'd used a credit card, :bonk: )

I gotta point out for all the good folk out there.

 

The advent of relatively inexpensive automated laser based measuring systems means that it is really, really easy to copy anything with very great precision. When you tie in measuring with computer aided drafting and computer driven milling, the fakes today will match the original dimensions of every part exactly.

 

Yes, there are some serial numbers that we do know are fake, but the same technology used to etch that number can today increment serial numbers.

 

Fakes will just be getting closer and closer to the originals by almost every measure, it is only the material qualities and hand craftsmanship that will make a difference.

 

The buyers best bet is still knowledge and common sense. If the deal looks too good, walk away.

Opened a case with eBay. Lets see what happens.

 

I figured I'd ink the pen and use it for a day or so, (I hate admitting this) it writes fairly well! Almost like a scratchy 144.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
