Coronet Gold Filled Pen Section Removal Help?


Addertooth

Recommended Posts

Wahl aficionados,

 

I recently got a Wahl Gold Filled Pen, frequently referred to as a "Coronet" (67S97), which is in the process of restoral.

Step one is always inventory, followed by disassembly.

I was actually surprised to learn that I was not the first person in the pen. The dried out sac was clearly labelled Esterbrook.

 

I managed to pull the splined assembly out of the body without cracking the ink view portion (yeah! take the minor wins).

Now I want to remove the section out of the splined ink view portion.

I have pictures below. One of them is a zoom of the nib, section and splined ink view part.

In the zoomed picture, There is an arrow drawn where I believe the joint for separating is located. Could someone confirm it for me?

I am unsure if it is a press fit, or a screw-in fit. If someone know the answers to these two questions, it would be a great help.

There have been so many of these all metal Coronet pens ruined during repair, that I don't want mine to join the scrap pile with it's brothers.

You did the hard part. You are done!

Yes, it separates where you put the arrow, and it is a standard direction thread.

Please, IMO, do not bother to try to open it. Leave the ink shut off alone. The shut off is cute, but unnecessary.

Flush the nib and section well, or clean it with your ultrasonic. Then put a new sac and and you are done!

Most of the breakage (as you noted) is done pulling the section because the clear area is fragile. Do not tempt fate by trying to get the section off the clear sub section.

 

Anyway, the nib should (or might) be a personal point type that you can unscrew from the section if you want a bit more access.

      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
