The pen is almost clear and I didn't have to take it apart. I ordered ink (as suggested) from an ebayer, but he cancelled the order. Nevertheless, here is my pen as of Sunday morning.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the show & tell!

 

Very interesting to see the progression of the pen's condition as the inks were changed. :thumbup:

 

I was a bit concerned that the original bit of residue might attract other bits from subsequent inks, creating a persistent mass - what's been loosely called 'plating'. But such was not the case in this instance. :)

 

Did you let the pen dry-out along the way? or Was it charged shortly after flushing?

 

Perhaps I should add OSMR to my roster of 'clean-up' inks.

 

Bye,

S1

Each time, I pretty much filled the next color before the other ink was dry. I probably should go back and try Skrip red since I remember it as a cleaning ink.

I am another fan of old Parker Quink w/Solv-X. I use it in any pen that seems to be a bit sluggish, and generally find that after a few days flow is much improved.

I think my new ink between will be Noodler's Eel Rattler Red.

 

Here was the pen before proper flushing:

Here was the same pen after flushing and several sonic baths.

Here is the pen after using the Rattler Red - you can still see some of the red ink, because I haven't flushed it yet, nor have I tried another sonic bath.

      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
