Main view.
Open. To compare I put near black 1.18 mm pencil.
Comparing 2 sizes. Opel on the right, opening is much bigger than in other, black pencil with 1.18 mm opening. I tried to insert 2 mm, but it is too big. So what size lead this 4 color Opel should take? 1.8 mm?
It maybe an optical distortion of the photo, but the hole in the Opel - is it round? It almost looks square. Square leads were used in "the good old days".
ReplyDeleteHi Kiwi-d, It is round. Just hard to take sharp photo of it. It is smaller than 2 mm, but bigger than 1.18mm
ReplyDeleteStill searching the web for analog, but can't find so far.
It is possible to manufacture your own customs leads by rolling them down from a bigger size. Example you start with a 2mm lead and roll it down bit by bit until it fits. Bit of a drama, but might turn out to be your easiest option.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kiwi-d, I thought about it, but it is really painful. It is a chance to get some 1.8 mm from Pendemonium site, but I am still not sure if it 1.8 mm or may be even 1.3 mm what I need for this pencil.
ReplyDeleteOn my blogger profile there is a contact me email address. I have a suggestion but its best off-blog.
ReplyDeleteHello - I know this is from years ago but I wanted to ask if you ever found the leads for this pencil. I picked one up today at a pen show and have been scouring the internet for replacement leads.

Hi, Salman!
ReplyDeleteI was not lucky, I gave up on my searches, I found some sellers on eBay, but they won't sell it without the pencil. So if you will find something, please, let me know, please. Thank you.
