PenBBS: Are they going under?
Taking a look at their ETSY site...not looking too good.
Overall inventory levels of their pens is down to single digits for most.
I cannot obtain replacement parts for the pens of theirs that I own and I'm not buying a replacement pen on ebay for $100.
I kinda feel like I have no choice but to move on to a pen with the same features but a bigger name...hopefully, a stronger company.
Re: PenBBS: Are they going under?
Maybe production was down for the Chinese New Year celebrations?
Re: PenBBS: Are they going under?
That is my impression, too, Ivan. And this isn't a big company but a small, independent maker. Get something if you see it and like it, there is NO reason to believe it will always be made. Beyond that, they DO offer a parts package for a few bucks that has an assortment of feeds, nibs, etc. OP doesn't state precisely what parts are needed.
Re: PenBBS: Are they going under?
Oh it's a replacement section. :p
I guess it will wait til after their holiday season/time/year.
Until then I'll be exploring life in the Opus-88 camp.

Just throwing this out there: I was made aware the other night of yet *another* inexpensive ED pen that people are slapping other nibs into as a project pen, maybe worth a look: Tramol.

For years I used tram oil on the Monarch ways. I was pretty liberal in how much I used...until I was about out and found out how difficult real tram oil is to find.

I switched to funicular grease a few years ago. A more stable formula.
