Looking For - Ink Sac - Ambassador FP

[TinLotus]

I'm looking to buy a replacement ink sac as mine, according to a helpful member, has perished. Any links/ideas would be great.

 

I'm also looking to get into this more thuroughly and was wondering if I should buy a set for common repairs, etc.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Hello, You could buy an assorted selection of sacs quite easily and get some shellac whilst you are at it.

When you replace the sac it should not be a snug fit, you need a little space between the sac and the barrel. You will also need to cut it to lenght. Also you will need to apply talc to the sac to stop it sticking just prior to putting it back in.

Have you managed to get the feed and nib out of the section for cleaning yet ?.

I would visit www.tryphon.it and have a look at all of the pen repair goodies he offers, buy a selection and then go for it. It's very satisfying repairing fountain pens.

Hope this helps

This helps a lot. And no, I haven't gotten the feed&nib out of the section. Also, it was a fin of the feed that I chipped off. I can't wait to have this pen working, although :-) I've never had one before :-P

 

I'm sick, so your post is like the only thing good that's happened today :-)

 

Thanks,
