Help With Refill For Old Yard-O-Led Bp Please


Recommended Posts

Hullo all.

 

 

fpn_1491813290__yard_o_led_ballpoint.jpg

 

[EDIT I have just checked: the refill is 80.75mm long - sorry!]

 

I have recently acquired this rather nice solid silver Yard-o-Led ballpoint, which is engraved 1960. I have been unable to find a refill for it. Does anyone have a suggestion?

 

Thanks in advance

I am sure you will have done your research already and found that it is an odd size, looks like a type 2 refill but too short at 80.7mm

 

From memory, the refill is fixed in position so would a shorter refill work with a spacer, such as a cut matchstick.

 

This Schmidt refill is 76mm for example,

Cult pens are usually very helpfull, if you tell them what you need it is my experience that they come up trumps.

Many thanks for your prompt reply. I shall certainly approach Cult Pens.

 

Thanks again,

The Lamy M22 can be extended with its plastic cap to the length of the longer Lamy M16 refill.

Schorten the plastic cap may give you exactly the length you need.

Thank you for your response.

 

The story so far is that Cult Pens couldn't help. I contacted Yard-o-Led who recommended a Yard-o-Led refill from Pen Heaven. I ordered one of these and it is too long!

 

Now Yard-o-Led have asked me to send them the pen for further evaluation which I shall do. Obviously dimensions are critical - especially the length which is 80.75mm

      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
