Parker roller ball pen adapter?
This is my first post here.
I have a Parker roller ball pen. It seems that the refills mostly come in medium, which I don't enjoy using. I could see the fine roller ball refills on the Web, but not in the shops. I'd much prefer using a ball point refill instead. I'm just wondering if there is some kind of an adapter that allows a Parker roller ball pen use a ballpoint refill? |

Parker roller ball pen adapter?
Tea,
Several years ago I had a Parker FP that leaked and I could not find a replacement section. I spoke with the service center in Janesville, WI, and they sold me a "point housing" (part number 2571.680.210000) and a "cartridge adapter" (part number 2571.580.21000). These parts allowed me to use a standard Parker refill (I actually use the Gel refills--same size). The parts were only $.50 each. These may work for you, too, and they are not expensive, in case they don't. Mike V Why Tea wrote: This is my first post here. I have a Parker roller ball pen.

The Parker 75, you can convert it to a ball pen refill by using the black adapters, but other Parker models (Premier, Sonnet will not do as the adapters affixed to the refill will not fit inside the cavity of the Premier/Sonnet body.

James Goodwin Hi James, I don't think it's a 75. It's all stainless steel and I can hardly see any model number on the cap. It's made in UK. I have another Parker FP that looks almost the same, but it's made in France. In any case, where can I find these black adapters? |

You can try the old number I have for the Parker Service Center--1-800-237-8736. They should be able to tell you if these adapters will allow you to do what you want, or if you will have to also by some other parts to make it work. Mike |
