I have had good luck just soaking the pens for a few days in alcohol. Then run a fine wire through it. As I recall, I used a Violin "E" string for some old Esterline Angus pens. These are really steel wire and not string.You can get one at any music store. I don't know what the inside diameter of your pen is but an e string will be between 0.5 and 0.6 millimeters in diameter.
I hope this helps,
Pete

I have a question regarding this system. IT's a kinemetrics PS2 system and
I
need a new pen for it. I can't seem to get a new pen from any viable
sources. The manufacturer wants to charge an enormous amount of money. I
wasn't sure if anyone knew how to make one or point me in that direction.
It
just looks like a metal tube (very, very small) that has a bend in it so
that makes contact with the paper.
