    I've found that most P-51 pencils in sets are OK. Orphan pencils, those sold individually, are often broken. Seven dollars is low, however. Ten years ago, they were usually around $15 or $20. A quick check of EBay shows that prices are up to $35 and more. Maybe your seller knew they had a broken pencil, and priced it that way?

    Ron Zorn has said that he has repaired mechanical pencils, although he did not claim to be "a pencil mech".

    When I sent the gold 51 to be restored, I gifted the repair person with this pencil. I found another 51 pencil that was iffy and sent the better one to my eldest.

    Overall, the Esterbrooks appears to be a better pencil. Even the AUto Point are better.
