Lucida mechanism

[rayf6604]

Has anyone had a Lucida with faulty mechanism? I haven't contacted David yet but a Lucida I made on Sunday has a stuck mechanism. It's not easy to get pliers onto it for fear damaging the thread or any other part of it so wanted to check if anyone else has had a similar experience and whether you were able to fix it or not. I'll have to get in touch with David at t/b if I can't fix it without breaking it.

Pliers? They don't belong anywhere near a pen, just dismantle it the normal way with transfer punches, I am sure Walter posted a how to do it recently.

Hi, Ray,

I have to say that I've a dozen or more and have never had a problem, preferring them to the Sierra.

In answer to the question ..... no, but I've only made two.
With reference to the pliers and :nonono: use a transfer punch as already said

When I say stuck mechanism I mean it won't twist to put the pen nib out and pull it back in . At present it's not inside the tube it's as it is out of the packet.

Wait for David to reply, I am sure he will sort it out.

Put it in a vise and get the stilsons on it then throw it in the bin and use another init?
I had a problem such as yours but it was entirely my own fault for have ca to near.
By that I mean spilled all over the place.
