It is a 139, the way to repair like Eizo is possible to follow. Not my way, but possible. Thanks for sharing this video.

 

kind regards

Thank you so much for your comments, ALL. :)

 

 

Hi Maxpens,

 

Oops, is this a Montblanc 139? Sorry for my

mistake. I have to change titles of this topic! ^^;

 

Thanks for the information.

No need to apologise here VirtuThe3rd. You have done us a great service by posting these videos and it is for certain that Max was only pointing out the oversight for those that might not have been aware. :thumbup:

 

Just to highlight the value of your generous post; I had previously bought all the tools I thought I would need to be able to carry out my own basic pen maintenance, with cork replacement and nib adjustment being my biggest need. I had previously purchased 4 cheap, non-descript, 1940s-1950s piston-fillers and 3 not so cheap but equally battered Montblanc pens from the same period, which I would not be happy to have had in my collection. These 6 pens were bought so that I might practice on these before looking to service my own collection. I was happy with the notion that, in the event I destroyed these pens, the worst that could happen was that I would have a few ‘spares’

 

Prior to viewing your post, I had already broken three of the sacrificial pens trying to remove the section from the barrel. Melted 1 pen, cracked/snapped the barrel of another, and almost succeeded with the 3rd but ended up breaking-off the barrel threads with my idiocy. Having never had the opportunity to see anyone do this for real, it felt as though I was trying to learn to swim from a book only, and my confidence took a real dive but I remained determined and have been trying (without success) to separate the sections of another 2 pens since.

 

Hugely excited at coming across your post (viewed video 5 times), I went to bed (very late) determined to have a go the next day. Can it have been so easy to open up a MB 139?

 

This morning, I successfully separated two of my remaining cheap pens. The barrel threads remain intact and I have not distorted the sections at all. :clap1: Yippee! I cannot believe I have actually taken apart these two pens (only took 20 minutes) and I am now looking to tackle the 2 battered MBs tonight.

 

Thank you VirtuThe3rd. :notworthy1: The FPN is about sharing information and your post really inspired an old git.....me. :clap1:

Hi pavoni,

 

Thanks for your kind words. I felt at ease to see

your comment. ^^; You must be a hearty person.

 

I enjoyed reading your comment a lot.

 

I don't think it's easy to repair vintage piston

-fillers by myself as well. But you did it! Cool. :)

 

I hope your all pens will be repaired perfectly!!

 

 

> easy to open up a MB 139?

 

Almost all of Montblanc 139 except "Mint-tocks"

have secular changes on the barrel. So, if you

open it up very carefully, you can make it. ^^/

 

I wish you good luck,

VirtuThe3rd

Hi Sailor Kenshin,

 

> those inky fingers on the pen doctor show

> that he's the Real Thing.

BTW, have you already watched this movie? lol

This is a joke movie I've made.

 

Be careful when you insert Sailor nibs into the

Cartier's bottle. ahah hah

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
