A friend of mine owns a Parker VP, which has a broken feed. I tried to fix it (drill a small hole on both pieces, glue it, re-grind ink channels...) but it is not exactly the best solution > Suggestions? Should I get a spare? Where? How much should I expect to pay for it? Should I sell the pen for him? How mu...

Greetings! I have a 1970's Parker BigRed rollerball that I used the wrong cleaner on, and it took the surface shine right off this otherwise beautiful pen!

Why are people so fascinated and addicted to this one pen? Is it the nib, the filling system, the build? I have never held, wrote, or even seen (in person) one of these pens and have no idea why they are so special to some people.

A couple days ago a Televisor Mark II arrived in the mail. My neice has so far found 3 pens in my dads effects and so is sending them to me as she finds them. The only thing that appears to be wrong with it is a perished sac. Does anyone know the correct size sac for this pen? I want to get it operational as soon as...

My friend has a Parker 88 that won't take a cartridge or converter. It's possible there's a build up of gunk in the pen or maybe something worse. Is this the kind of nib and feed that we can knock out? Or is this screw fit? Hope someone here knows. :)

I really like the looks of Parker Vector fountain pens. They are very austere looking and (the older models) are very well built. The nib is more than plain (that's positive)?and the clip design is great. But I always have issue's with the metal grip; it is too small and too slipepry IMHO. What are your t...

I recently got my first 61. This pen had a screw (I mean literally, a minature brass screw in the cap where a jewel should be) in the top of the cap. After some research, I discovered that this is probably the model that did have a screw type jewel in the cap! My question is, aside from who has one, is what did i...

I love the parker sonnet in cisele and the parker 75 too. I THINK? I have seen a cigarette lighter to accompany either the sonnet or the 75. I've taken period sweeps through E bay without success. Am I dreaming or has someone else seen this? skyp
