Hello, does someone know how to check if the inc sac is okay on a Cadet? It does draw ink but I'm not really sure as I think it hasn't ever been serviced.

Wiggle loose the sac protector and see if the sac is still soft and pliable. Then press the sac with the nib in water and see if there are any leaks. The sacs are easy to replace if you have any doubts.

Good luck!

I think these have O rings too, which often need to be replaced. If it is drawing enough ink for you, then I wouldn't worry about it.
