Some questions re: pen repair:

1. Can anyone recommend a good pen repair person in Southeastern Pennsylvania, central New Jersey, Northern Delaware? I sent two pens to a recommended person on Internet and it's been months! Anyone doing mail order pen repair with a faster turnaround?

2. Where can I find ink sacs to do my own resacking? I need a packet of assorted sizes as I don't know which sizes I need. I have to section tool and can't wait to try it out!

3. I have a no name pen with a nice nib but the inside lever fill parts vanished before I found the pen in a flea market. Is there anyone reliable who can rebuild this nice-writing pen (I dipped it...) and make it work?

4. I have a couple of eyedropper pens having sections that wont come off. Is there a safe way of removing them that will prevent damage to the barrel and section?

This is a lot! I hope someone can help.

Dillon Ang in Rhode Island did a nib replacement repair job for me very quickly at a reasonable price. You can reach him via email.

Pen Sacs and all sorts of pen repair bits are available from Tryphon. Also the Pen Sac Company.

Most sections are friction-fit so you need to work it loose. Best to use a special section removal pliers. Tryphon has these, too. Some sections are shellacked so heat will melt the shellac but you need to be very careful.

Good luck,

Andy

Dillon (aka Dillo) is also a Tryphon dealer. While asking about repairs you can buy some parts and/or pens from him.

Deb Kinney has quick turn around time. She just went on a two week vacation though.
