Pelikan Disassembly

[watch_art]

all over ebay i see pictures like these (borrowed from another thread, borrowed from the seller yoy-de)

and the pen is completely apart. i've seen diagrams explaining how to take them apart.

basically push the piston out from the section side out the piston knob side with a dowel or something.

but i've also read that you can damage one of the parts when you put it back in.

so i can't find the name of the actual part, but i'd call it a sleeve. the sleeve that the threaded shaft fits into, and the blind cap screws on to.

can't you damage that easily by taking these apart? i also read that chartpak/pelikan repair would normally just replace this part too because of this?

 

any help appreciated. I've got a pen coming in the mail with a broken piston whatever that means, but it's got a semi sorta flexy BB nib which i'm very much

looking forward to, and the price was fair (in my opinion).

 

thanks for any help or advice.

i'm not getting this pen. well, i mean, the vintage 400 i'm getting is similar to this brown color, but i just borrowed the photo to ask about disassembly.

Hello,

I also would be interested in learning to take apart a pelikan. I have a 140 that needs piston attention and Im unsure how to remove it safely.

I have the nib and feed taken apart, cleand and ready to put back together, but the rubber end of the piston needs replacement.

Good job; thank for posting it here.

You should probably contact the mods to include this in one of those reference stickies.

I believe the name you're looking for is "binde".

feanor, actually, i figured out that the part i was referring to was part of the piston mechanism.

the piston sleeve i think. it's the part that holds the piston itself and has a threaded end for the filler knob to screw on to.

but i've taken it apart a few times already and no worries. very simple.

 

thanks for the compliment up there, markiv!
