Which Waterman Is This?

[tmenyc]

I don't know modern Waterman, clearly. A friend brought this over last night -- clearly clogged, and I want to pull the nib. It's a C/C filler. Is it friction fit, threaded? A nib unit or nib and separate feed? So far, it's not budging, and while a little ink is coming out it's still clogged against the ear bulb. Happily sitting in pen cleaner now. Apologies in advance for the phone pics.

 

Edit: I've looked at some pictures: is it an Exclusive? Late 80's-90's?

 

thanks!

Force, after seeing the your pictures in the other post, I guess you'd know! Can you tell me about the nib assembly?

 

Thanks,

I had one of those a long time ago. It was too skinny for me so I let my wife (#1) use it. She took it with her when we split.

I have never removed an Exclusive nib/feed but I am fairly certain they are similar to the Man 100/200 and just push/punch out after a long soak to lubricate the bits. Be very careful of the lance because it is very thin. If punching, one would need a hollow punch and be careful of the front end i.e. that under the gold plated brass ring, it is very fragile.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was hoping for... I've just finished fixing a leak on the same friend's Le Man 100.

 

Much appreciated.
