Unscrewing A Frozen Parker Challenger


ScienTESOL

Recommended Posts

Now that panic mode is over, I can post something that might take a little longer to type. Welcome to FPN. :W2FPN:

 

I think you might need to find an expert who can repair this pen. However, you could try doing a Google search on "Repair a Parker Challenger" and read all of the previous posts that come up from FPN to see if any of those might help you.

 

I don't know the pen, although I know there are 2 versions. Someone else will come along who an help you further. But please dismiss the saw idea completely. :o

Thank you, again. I have replied to your 'panic mode' post, which was and is much appreciated.

To paraphrase a well-known quote from Hamlet, 'more damage is wrought by ignorance than this world dreams of'.

Cheers

Rare to find pen parts that won't unscrew IF THEYRE MEANT TO BE ABLE TO BE USER-UNSCREWABLE :)

Thanks so much for you interest and comment. I shall send the pen to someone competent to bring it back to life after its 82 years of inactivity as a fillable pen, although I have taken to using it as a dip pen recently.

But again, thank you so much. Your interest and comment are really well and truly appreciated.

Sorry that I am not very proficient at using the blog system; the FPN is the first and shall probably remain the only one on which I shall attempt to peek into the 21st century.

Cheers and best wishes

Wish you have your Challenger brought back to life as soon as possible.

Thank you for your good wishes. I am saving the pennies (cents in my country) towards achieving that as soon as possible.

I am enthralled by the number of respondents to my post, and the good will they express. Wish such feelings could be multiplied and applied across a range of social issues that are causing so much grief to so many.

Cheers and warm regards

      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
