Hero 338

Hej,

 

did anyone disassemble the Hero 338 ?

A Hero 616 guide i found on Youtube doesn't seem to work for me - unless quasi-lethal force is used.

 

And if anyone was able to disassemble it: Did you manage to make it write wetter?

 

Many thanks.

A short update for those being interested in:

 

I was able to get the feed and nib out - there was some sort of adhesive on both, like that of a very cheap scotch tape residue.

I cleaned both units and sanded the feed a bit flatter on top of the backwards ink channel and widened the front ink channel by carving a little bit.

The nib was simply widened just a very tiny bit by pushing it down.

 

Now it writes like a champion, even though the pen is a bit too thin for my taste - but for that price it's very, very good.

 

Best regards

I'm curious to hear an update on this. Have you had any leakage or ink burping out the front problems with this pen since you disassembled it? After you took it apart, did you use anything to seal it again?

 

I took apart 2 Hero 616s because they kept burping ink and put them back together using silicone grease on the threads to reseal them. However, they still burped afterwards. Just wondering if there was a similar experience with the 338.

 

I've had nothing but bad experiences with all the Hero hooded nib pens I've used. No problems with my hooded Kaigelu though.

      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
