Volume 2. A couple of quick notes. Dont try to take the nib off of a Parker 75 feed, you'll only end up snapping the feed. Also the Parker 45 segment somehow got replaced with a 2nd copy of the Parker 75 bit, sorry. Have fun & enjoy!! [URL=https://s276.photobucket.com/albums/kk28/vintagedel...

Making an ebonite feed by hand
(Preview)
Has anyone had experience making an ebonite feed by hand -- that is without a lathe? Any advice would be appreciated. I'm contemplating fashioning feeds from ebonite to see if I can improve upon the ebonite feeds in a number of eyedropper pens I have -- the object being to prevent burping.

Is Danco silicone grease a bad idea?
(Preview)
It was the only stuff they had at Ace Hardware. I understand that if it is not 100% silicone that I don't want it, but I don't see ingredients anywhere.

ink stain on section above nib and feed.

I was wondering if there was a way to remove the ink stain that is right above the nib on the section. Â It is in there pretty good and didn't know if buffing with some simichrome would do the trick, or if there are in fact other ways to remove this ink stain. Â Thanks guys.

If one is thinking about repairing fountain pens
(Preview)
where does one start? Are there required videos, websites, books? I've seen a few mentioned here, but I don't know where to begin! I'm interested in acquiring some vintage pens to tinker with. I've only ever used cartridge or converter pens, so this world of levers and vacuum sacks is alien to me.

Bought a Noodler's Ahab a few months ago and it is a good pen for the price but it has a nasty habit of leaking into the cap when it has been used for about a day and the ink has dropped 6mm [1/4"] in the reservoir. I wouldn't have bothered with that too much as its a $20 pen but now my favourite Montegrappa...

But after closer inspection, I found they had some deep scratches in them. There was no way to just polish off the scratches so I did some research and decided to t...
