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

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
