Platinum PG-200 / Dry writer
Permalink Closed

I own a Platinum PG-200 (a Japanese pen with a short body and LAAAARGE cap in order to be used posted). The nib looks similar to the one in my Capless/VP (if not the same...). It is quite a dry writer.

Question: How do I am supposed to disassemble this (pretty large) section? I have already tried the usual things: "pumping" soapy water with rubber (medical eyedropper's) thing, letting it stay overnight in water, and so. I haven't yet tried with the US cleaner, but I would like to disassemble it first, and try to clean (mechanically) between the tines and inside the ink channels. Any idea?

TIA

Martin

The tapered section and tiny nib are a major PITA to deal with. I honestly dont know if the section can be broken down to it's parts. The safe bet in my book is to take an inksac/thin piece of rubber grip the nib & pull it out the front end.

Thanks, Dennis. I'll give it a try to both your bet and the US cleaner as well.

Rgds.

I was using it with an adapter, in order to enable it to use international cartridges. I'm trying to get some Platinum cartridges, so as to check whether this was a flow problem by itself (dirty ink channels, nib vertical misalignment) or because of the adapter. I have also US cleaned it.

I'll keep this updated.

Rgds.
