I have an old Meiserstuck 149, that leaks like crazy.

It started to leak when I unscrewed the nib to give it a cleaning and unfortunately the rubber gasket just tore
to shreds. Is there something that I can replace it with?


PS Where does the gasket go? Is it at the bottom of the part that you unscrew?

Update:
Ok I feel stupid. Since I was asking about this today, I decided to clean the pen which I had been neglecting.
I am taking a Qtip into the body to clean out some dried ink when it seemed like the threads broke off.
Uh no. Turns out the pen is not two part like I thought, a body and a nib. But three parts a body, a thread part and a nib.
The thread part goes on a collar on the body, the nib screws in collar and holds the thread part to the body.

The thread part is also held by some sort of plastic caulk, which I guess goes up over the outside of the nib part and prevents
leaks. Anyone know what that caulk is?

Can you post any photos so we could see what you've gotten yourself into? That would give us a better idea of how to help.

First off, I didn't "get" myself into anything. The pen is in essentially the same state it was in before the nib was put on during manufacturing.
The thing is that the compound keep the thread sleeve on, so I thought the pen had two parts the nib part ( I'm not sure of it is a section technically ), and the body. Cleening the body I discovered that it is three parts, the nib, the body and a sleeve which has the threads for the cap.

At this point I can't take photos, but I am attacting a diagram illustrating what I am saying.

For a vintage MB question, I'd suggest contacting either Tom Westerich twesterich@penboard.de, or Gary Lehrer garylehrer@aol.com.

I think if you sent your drawing and question to either of these gentlemen, they would respond.


Cheers,
Tom

PS - Please let us know what you learn...

I believe it's circa 1995.
But who knows, it may have been in the store a while before I bought it. Though not likely.

Okay then...Good Luck.
