Advice Sought Re: Repair

[dthill]

I talked with FPH awhile ago about a MB 216 pen repair. I am not sure, but I think it's beyond them.

The lady on the phone said 'maybe MB'.

 

Ok so, I contacted MB about repair person asking if they still worked on 216's. He said yes.

 

The FPH lady said MB would be very expensive. They also had a #216 for sale for about $750.

I wouldn't think mine could sell for that much. The pen has no sentimental value to me.

 

I have several other MBs (fp & bp) so it isa not my only one. Wheredo cit off the repair expense?

Depending on what is wrong wit the pen, MB might not "fix" it, they might just replace parts. For repairs to 146/149 pens I would be okay with MB as long as the pen is newer. For vintage, not so much. What is wrong with the pen? There are a lot of folks out there that do repairs, and depending on the problem some might be better than others.

 

Here is a partial list of repair people. There are some that are not on the list yet. The list is from Jim Mamoulides' Pen Hero site, a valuable resource. You could contact the folks on the list and see if they can do it what they charge, or who they recommend. http://www.penhero.com/PenBookmarks_PenRepair.htm
