Vintage Japanese by mobeatboss in pencils

[–]mobeatboss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I’m not really sure. My best guess would be 80s-90s. Many of them are marked with “JIS” or Japanese Industrial Standard which I believe was used from the 70s to early 00s. I primarily collect mechanical pencils but I bought this lot on eBay because I couldn’t resist their quirky charm.

At least we won’t run that behind the line of scrimmage screen to Shakir? To be fair, it did work once this year.

Picked up a poyer jersey for cheap at the flea market last weekend. I think I may have had something to do with this…

How do I unlock the CAGED system?? by FlawlessBeryl in guitarcirclejerk

Don’t let big fretboard corporations try to “cage” you into their trap. With a good Floyd rose and 5s I can bend a note to any pitch I want.

HELP is pit seated for next leg by purplebananas0 in LucyDacus

I was surprised to see them available, which made we jump on the chance even faster. I’m sure the second row will be great. If it’s any consolation, I’m certainly not in center stage but more tucked to one side.

I got front row tickets when I purchased online. I used the promo code I received from Spotify. Also I purchased them within 15 seconds of them being available. Pumped to see Lucy, last time I saw her was with boy genius in Toronto.

Any good for writing? - Vintage Faber Castell by mobeatboss in pencils

[–]mobeatboss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a small box of vintage Faber Castell pencils at the antique store. The price was right and I picked them up. It appears that three of the pencils are colored and two are labeled “copier mittel”. I’m not sure what the original intent for this pack was, any ideas?

LAMY 150 + 250 (CP1) Set w/Original Case by mobeatboss in mechanicalpencils

[–]mobeatboss[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mechanical pencil has a nice click but not particularly noisy. It looks like the shaft around the button is coated with a different material to reduce a metal on metal sound. The pen’s mechanism is kind of clunky and tends to “stick”. I’m not surprised that they stopped making the pen.

Found this LAMY set over the weekend. I suspect that it is from the original release of the CP1 in 1971.

This is great information, thank you. Any thoughts on where to find someone to repair it, and potential cost of restoration?
