I received a Montblanc 149 that I have partially disassembled. The joints were so bad that I just removed by hand.

 

Here are some pics:

What can be used to replace the pink sealant used by MB?

Excellent pictures! BTW, why is the piston seal pinkish? is it old ink stains there? It is usually translucent white in new or ambered in really old pens.

 

Regarding the pink sealant, I now use the section sealant sold by Tryphon. YMMV.

I do not know why the piston seal is pink ...

 

Thank you for the information of the sealant.

I have used pure beeswax to replace the pink 'bubble gum' sealant and never had a problem with the pens seeping following this.

 

This advice, and beeswax, was given by well established FPN member Fountinbel. ( that is spelt wrong but not far off! )

I just finished the assembly of the pen and it is under observation for leaks. I used beeswax for waterproofing ;)

My guess is yes it's old stains. This often happens when you use red ink.

 

Well done for dismantling that 149 and putting it back together. :thumbup:

I've also used the bees wax as sealant, as per Fountainbel. Never had a problem.

Is sealant used to prevent ink from seeping out or making the Meisterstruck pens harder to damage from self repair?

To prevent seepage. I think.

Hi,

 

As for the pink piston seal, that is commonly found in pens that have used certain inks, mostly black inks. I think Parker Quink Black can stain pistons pink like that. I've also seen pistons stained that color with Pilot Black. Aurora Black and Pelikan Brilliant Black don't seem to do that. Some blue black inks also stain pistons pink. I wouldn't worry. It's mostly cosmetic.

Stolen: Aurora Optima Demonstrator Red ends Medium nib. Serial number 1216 and Aurora 98 Cartridge/Converter Black bark finish (Archivi Storici) with gold cap. Reward if found. Please contact me if you have seen these pens.

Please send vial orders and other messages to fpninkvials funny-round-mark-thing gmail strange-mark-thing com. My shop is open once again if you need help with your pen.

I am looking to disassemble some of my 149's - can you tell me where to find the 2-pronged tool needed to remove the nib and also the cone?

thanks!

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
