I have three Cross FP's (2 original Centuries and a Radiance) and I wanted a new converter because my older ones look like they may not last so long and they date back to the 1980's and 90's. I was surprised to see that new ones now cost around $15 at my local store and cheaper ones from far away cost even more with shipping charges added. So, I checked out Aliexpress. where I bought Chinese pens in the past. Sure enough, if you search for "Cross converter," you'll find one for only $1.69, plus $1.99 for shipping. I went for one a few months ago and was surprised that it came pretty soon, and not from China, but from a U.S. location. It fits into the Cross section perfectly but is not a piston that you turn like a screw, but a lever that moves up and down. Just like many other converters, it's tricky to get a 100% fill, but it does fill OK and I have no complaints about paying under $4 for something instead of $15. A picture of the converter from their website is attached.
