Help A Newbie? Waterman Repair Sf Bay Area...

[Sharpenologist]

Like the topic says...

 

New to the Fountain Pen Network, need to have my leaking Waterman fixed (after it nearly ruined one of my favorite shirts!)...

 

Don't remember the model name, it was purchased many years ago from Levenger, picture attached for identification.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

[Tobias from Switzerland]

the model is "L'Etalon"

where is it dropping, under the nib?

[Sharpenologist]

It seems to be from the section just forward (towards the nib) of the band where the front of the body (finger grip) connects to the rear...

 

I will attach another picture to show this a little better...

I recall that I, we, and others have tried to disassemble the L'etalon grip section but failed.

 

I think there is a block, similar to the Man 100, which unscrews.

If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, you might want to attend an upcoming meeting of the San Francisco Pen Posse, which meets on most Sunday afternoons at Pete's diner near the San Mateo BART station.

 

There are several people there who are able to look at pens and figure out what might be wrong with them.

 

I think meetings are usually announced in the FPN forum that lists clubs, meetings, and events.
