My first repair attempt, on a Sheaffer Touch-down pen. I replaced the sac with a new one (from Pendemonium). The old one was solid. I replaced the O-ring with a new one.

I had a small disaster at a meeting last night.

Does anyone know, offhand, what sac fits this pen? For my first attempt at ordering and replacing a sac, I ordered a #16, based on the base diameter, but it's way too big. It looks as if I need a tapered one. --John Registered Linux User #291592

IF YOU CAME ACROSS THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME, COULD YOU AFFORD IT? As a collector, it is important to have many different tools at your disposal and to be able to use them all well.

I recently picked up a "Flying Colors SYntech" pen made by Jakks Pacific (a toy company). So far the refill (now living in my Rotring 600 BP) is writing quite smoothly. It's like a cross between gel and ballpoint. I had actually purchased the pen but it unscrews in about 6 parts and eventually...

Copy of an email discussion that I thought might be useful to the pen collecting public --- Actually, I've tried your method with Pelikan refills-taking out the soft plastic plug, washing it through and then filling with an ink of my choice. I've not had good experience with this, though....

I have recently come into possession of three fountain pens. One of them is a St Dupont brown Chinese lacquer pen in the original box. The nib seems to be tagged 18kt and it was made in France. It also has the original tag in the box that indicates that it is a No 28573Y. How can I find out...

While cleaning out my home office, I found a Pilot Custom 74 that I had received as a gift several years ago. The converter is missing, and a quick web search has just brought up converters for the Vanishing Point series. Would this converter work, or is there another I should use? Please...

The Parker Reflex is the most comfortable fp I've ever used, but I retired mine and got rOtring Cores because the medium nibs were too much for me. Giving one to a little neighbor for her 10th birthday yesterday afternoon (her face lit up, she was really happy to receive the pen), prompted me...

Just curious for anyone with Imperial and Legacy experience. How much of a difference in physical size is there between these two. TIA kwhiner

Picked up a clutch pencil that purports to be a Caran d'Ache. Had associated that brand with gold plate and silver, but what I picked up is chromium plated. Stamped into the pushing gadget is +CARAN D'ACHE+SWISS MADE+ Decorative engraving on the hexagonal facets is very shallow compared

How many bottles of green ink do you have, what brands are they, and if you could have only one, which would it be and why? Me: 2 bottles total: Parker and Sheaffer. If I could only have one, I'd pick the Skrip because of the shade. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi but not in email.
