My fees are modest:

 

Parker Vacs/51's : $25

Lever/Button Fillers: $18

Snorkels: $27

 

If you have a pen and are unsure what type of service it needs, contact us. We're here to help!

I had a vac-filling 51 that I was pretty down on, thinking I'd spent way too much on it in a moment of BIN weakness.

 

It just came back from hcsk8ter, and now I feel like I got a tremendous bargain! The pen looks great, fills perfectly, and writes like a dream.

 

Recommended without hesitation or qualification.

Parker 51 Vac filler needed a new diaphragm and had a frozen filler unit.

 

After Rich's work, it's back to its old (amazing) self. Excellent work, would definitely recommend and will doubtlessly deal with again.

 

(I have a nice old lever filler of unknown origin that I want done (needs a J bar and a sac) and an Estie Dollar Pen that needs a sac as well. Next time you aren't too busy, let me know?)

I sent Richard two waterman filigrees, and they came back looking wonderful and writing superbly too! Great work, especially for the price.

I had 4 Sheaffers (3 Snorks and a TD) that I accumulated over the past year via eBay. A couple looked OK, the others not so much. None would fill. They are just back from a visit with Rick...re-sacked, cleaned, polished and nib adjusted. Look like NOS. Nice job.

Thank you all. It makes me feel great to know, I can breath new life back into your pens.

 

All current pens sent back out to their owners. My bench is once again clear.

Rich did an amazing job on a Parker 51 that i sent to him, it had been a drawer for years, as it would never fill properly and he has made it a joy to own this pen, adjusted the flow. Wonderful job, great price and a speedy service. Thanks so much Rich

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
