Bexley Repair

Does anyone know who to go to for Bexley service these days? I have a Bexley 2006 with a vintage vacumatic filling system that doesnt work. I assume a Parker expert might be able to help.

Last I checked Howard will service these pens, but since they use vintage vac parts a number of folks can restore the pen. Should be in the $40 to $60 range. I recall Howard wanted $60. I think I asked maybe 15 months ago.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

My guess is that big time "players" like zaddick (this is said respectfully and meant as a compliment) who know Howard well will be able to access his "back door" for repairs. However, as zaddick points out, for a vintage Vac-type repair, there are lots of options.

 

The "official" guidance to your question, however, comes from the new owner's website:

 

"With decades of expertise, and now under the creative vision of Emmanuel Caltagirone and his team, Bexley will continue to produce fountain pens for fans of American-made writing instruments for decades to come. For those looking to repair old Bexley Pens, please email us to oldbexley@thepenfamily.com"

 

If it were my pen, and I did not have a pre-existing relationship with Howard, I would go to one of the others who have many years of experience in repairing / restoring Vacs.

 

Good luck, please let us know your outcome.

Thank you. I contacted oldbexley@thepenfamily.com and Howard responded, so I guess that answers that. $69 for the repair.

      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
