Ebonite Lever Chipped


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

when I was filling my 205/64, the ebonite lever chipped.

 

Can you recommend me a person or a group I can send the pen to for fixing/replacing the lever?

 

or should I not even be bothered by a chip and keep writing with this awesome pen?

 

Thank you:)

Either leave it alone, or buff it out a little to soften the edges and make it a little less noticeable. It looks pretty minor to me.

 

Another option is to put a tiny dab of Loctitie 480 on the corner. Once it dries, buff that to blend in with the lever. It will fill in the chip a little, and leave a smooth convex area.

 

Depending on the next date for So Cal Pen club, vs the LA show, contact me and I will bring my bottle of Loctite 480 so you don't have to buy one just for this. We can put the dab on and then put it in your car to dry.

A 205/64? That's an unusual model/ I love the 64 material - could post a snpa of the pen please?

 

Thanks

Thanks,

 

A lovely pen but not a /64 - that's a SM205/63 - Russet & Jade.

 

Here's a 64 (Brown amber)

      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
