Hi. My Parker Vacumatic don´t fill ink.
I think it´s diaphram. How can I disamble it for checking or repair.

Any tip.

Thanks

Manuel

Manuel,

Disassembly of the filler mechanism on a Parker Vac takes a special tool. Most common are the vac-block and the vac-wrench. Substitutes can be made but you risk damage to the pen or the filler.

Look on tryphon.it to see what they look like.

Unless you plan on fixing a large number of pens or you just like tools in general it is more cost effective to send the pen for repair. A number of highly qualified people frequent the FPN and there are pinned threads at the top of the repair page that can help.

Thanks.

I live in México and it´s more expensive send pen to USA for repair. I will purchase my tools.

Another question. the nib it´s slip friction fit or is screwed. It´s a Plastic filler (1945 ) pen.

Thanks

Manuel,

Here are some links to get you the supplies you need:

Wood Bin (The VAC repair set is a good deal.)
Tryphon

There are others but these two are where I buy most of my supplies. No affiliation other than a satisfied customer.
