The day many of us fear finally came to me. I was going to store my TK Matic after using it all day and I don’t even know why but my hands just went buttery smooth and it fell tip first to the ground. No reason to even try unbending this as it actually “ejected” itself from the main tip and cracked too.
If anyone has a spare tip for sale or knows where to find one, thank you. I’m also aware that Alphamatic tips work too.
Here is a TK-Matic for sale:
There was also a reddit thread a while ago by some guy who replaced his Rotring 600 lead pipe by harvesting one from a cheap currently available pencil. Maybe you can try it too:
Hadn’t seen that listing and didn’t think of that. I think I will probably follow his advice and replace the pipe with one from a cheap pencil, specially since the entire pipe came right off. Thank you a lot.
Document the transplant process and post it here if its succesfull, maybe someone else will need it too.
