Lenz Arts is still stocking the Richpen 212A - if you need help purchasing in the States, you know I can assist. I purchased a few brushes from them. I may also have an SP-A (I know I have more than 1), but it would be "as new" or in very near new in original case, so not a bargain find.
You can shoot me a message if you want...

I’ll keep an eye out for you.
The Sp-B and Sp-A I have spray the best out of every brush I have tried. Nothing else comes close.

I have SP-B they are interesting brushes especially after tweaking them. Since I've been using 1-2 drops of paint lately I need the A cup.

Thanks I have seen it, but there is no information(passport, instructions, inscriptions on the boxes etc) that they were manufactured by Fuso Seiki.

While I was looking for my airbrush, I came across the most expensive airbrush in the world(with case) for $1,100. Here it is: https://olympos-airbrush.ocnk.net/product/1444

I've looked at it many times with a look of desire, but it's quite out of my budget... for now I'll settle for the F-1 that I ordered on Monday for 48 euros to calm my AAD...

I have that exact brush, in the exact case, purchased as new for $235US. I purchased it when it came my way because it is an exact match for the first Olympos I purchased back in the 1980's for the exact same price of $235.

I think the price of $235 is a normal realistic price. Probably ran out of stock and now there is a frenzy, everyone is buying up, maybe even at that price. But I'd rather have a new CM-B(V2) for $380, and that would be a better investment.

It would be interesting to hear your opinion once you've worked with it!

I couldn't find an SP-A at a low price. So I decided to convert the 200A to SP-A or close to SP-A performance 
. The main objective is to create a nozzle cup like micron or close to it. This picture shows the center part, which has an internal contour similar to the SP-A, but the outlet opening is much smaller. This center piece fits into a modified (bored) nozzle cup from the 200A. I will try to make several variations to choose the best one.

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Truly individual parts being turned with hand held tooling there. I like your enthusiasm for getting this project done.

Basically, all cutting was done by slitting, cross-feeding and using a tailstock to drill inside the workpiece. Only complex shapes were made by hand, which is how some parts are turned by watchmakers.

I would not have the confidence in my steady hand, its an art in itself to be able to turn like that so you are doing very well. Did you have to make a profiled tool to get the shape you want to bore inside the tube?

*i mean my hands are not steady enough to achieve this like you can, not that i have a steady hand.

I drilled out the shape inside the tube mostly with drill bits and used a few different shaped cutters. The inside surface of the part was also sanded with different grit sandpaper. Turning in this way close to a lathe chuck is a dangerous game, I don't recommend it to anyone!
