Manoj Deshmukh of Fosfor Pens made this custom pen for me. http://www.fosforpens.com/about.html I had purchased these vintage old stock Sheaffer Triumph nib units some years back from David Nishimura. However the nib units had 4 start 10tpi (40tpi effective) threads. Manoj agreed to attempt using the nib unit on a pen for me. He was successful and here is the result. Manoj used Black ebonite and a vintage clip. I had requested the section be made to accept Pilot con 70 converter. Thus any modern Pilot converter or cartridge could be used on this pen. I chose pilot for their wide nozzle diameter which allows wonderful ink flow. Currently I am using a very old Pilot Con B converter on the pen and the pen holds some 0.92ml ink in this configuration. The cap takes just 1-3/4 turns to remove refit. The nib works fine as usual with the wonderful Triumph points. Best Hari

Yo Pilot lovers, It's my understanding that Pilot is quite jealous wrt its pen parts. Thus I've bought quite a few of Pilot's cheapest pens for cannibalization purposes. Yet, doing so just to get a Con-70 converter is not a very rational proposition, considering the prices of the pens that come equipped with it. So, good news is that I managed to find a couple of places that sell the Con-70 today, (This is not a good news/bad news thing, so no bad news.) Goldspot sells the metal (OEM) Con-70s for 10.50 +shipping. I bought a couple more things besides the converter including a bottle of ink and my shipping was $3.95. Pen Chalet sells the plastic Con-70s for $9.20, and Goulet for $11.00. Out of the bunch I've only ever dealt with Goulet. Their cust. service is superb and shipping so fast it's about like they're in the next county. FWIW, and Standard disclaimers apply--I have no pecuniary interest in any of these companies.
