Help Please!: Sailor Lecoule - Which Converter & Cartridge?


Arrivistepen

Recommended Posts

Hello Pen People, If I've posted this in the "wrong" area of FPN, please accept my apology and grant me a modicum of immunity for this is my 1st ask for help!

 

Just got an 'older' used Sailor Lecoule, and surprise, surprise, surprise it will not take standard ink cartridges and I cannot identify the model of the converter to buy. This Lecoule was one of a few Japanese pens (Ok, 8) that I bought. Not a large $ purchase, but I want to use this pen! The seller doesn't know, 5 different sellers of Sailor converters (eeebay) simply tell me that the converter they are selling works with Sailor pens, with no mention of the Lecoule. The reason I want to verify the converter model to buy, is that I read (somewhere in the internet ether) that the Lecoule requires a proprietary/unique cartridge/converter.

 

Sailor converter part numbers and descriptions:

 

14-0502-000 Sailor Pen fountain pen ink inhaler converter Slim
14-0500-000 Sailor Refills Standard Fountain Pen Ink Converter

 

Soooo, Since it seems Sailor pens require proprietary ink supplies, that any Sailor converter/cartridge would be compatible with the Lecoule?

THank you in advance for your help!

My Lecole uses the standard Sailor converter. The slim one is only (AFAIK) for a model called Chalana.

 

I rarely use mine - my other (more expensive) Sailors are better writers.

      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
