Didn’t know if this should be in the MB section or the repair section…. I want to cry. I decided to replace the cork on a wartime 333 ½. I setup my heat gun and tools and got to work. It came apart very smoothly and very clean. It took much less heat than I thought. (The heat gun was set to 145f and the thermometer read about 120f on the surface when the section pliers moved). Everything went great. I disassembled the entire pen except for the nib and feed. Removed the piston and old cork and cleaned everything. I was ready to silicone and put it back together. I took one last swipe with the Q-Tips and paper towel. As I wiped the top of the threads on the body, a piece chipped off. I couldn’t believe it. I knew the risks but everything went perfect up until that point. My question for the experts, Is this something that could be repaired/rebuilt? Or am I S.O.L. and only hope is to find a donor 333 ½ or maybe a 334 ½ parts pen? (Anyone happen to have a body?) Thank you for any help. I will now return to my beer and start my cry.
