I was wondering if there are no black pens to buy?

 

When I built mine I bought a whole set of Mr Sketch scented pens just to get a black one... it may still smell a little licorice.

That particular type of pen wasn't easy to find in Sweden so I had to buy it off eBay.

I even wounded the wire on a pipe and heated it to get the curled wire.

 

I have thought about how to be able to get the nice same type of silvery text on it but for now it has the Mr Sketch text.

 

 

Also thought about how much it would change the price to have professionally made PCB:s... on the plus side these have oxide protection with that usually green paint instead of bare copper.

I have a new batch of homebrew Vectrex lightpens available and ready to ship. They include the standard package.

 

I'll make 10 available to AA members for $35 shipped in the US or $40 shipped worldwide. PM me to order. Thanks!

Bump of an old Thread.

 

I'm was thinking about building the lightpen, but then spotted this Thread. I saw your video on YouTube, interested in buying one of your pens.
