Yes, I know about those. They're great if the turret is already broken away and the tube is still functional. However, intentionally removing an intact turret risks breaking the glass nib inside. I wasn't able to find a tool that I thought could perform this operation safely, so I decided against using those parts. I should probably add that even though I didn't pay a lot for the tubes, the type they'll replace now has become pricey in NOS. For that reason, I wanted to be as careful with these as possible. :)
