Me: "Hi everyone - My name is Peter and I am an inkoholic. Group: "Hi Peter." Here is a true story: I was 8 or 9 years old, living in Amsterdam, when one sunny summerday I found a fountain pen on the street. It was a black Sheaffer with a gold imperial style nib - maybe even a PFM - BEAUTIFUL ! I picked it up and ran home to show what I had found. When I got home, I found my aunt, who was a mathematics teacher, had come to visit. She looked at my find, explained to me that it was by no means a toy for a boy my age, and... she took it away from me. All seemed okay untill about a year ago when I bought this vintage sheaffer on ebay. Since then I have what my wife calls an OCD, buying fountain pens. I hope this inkoholics anonymus support group will help me to overcome my addiction. Thank you so much for your help.

I just bought my first Esterbrook at the Triangle Pen Show this past Friday, and my lever is a tad loose. As in if I hold my pen flat, the lever falls a few millimeters, and even while the nib is facing directly down it is still open just a bit. This is my first vintage pen, and my first lever filled, so I have no idea what to do or how to take it apart or anything. Its a 1938/39 Esterbrook (I don't know the model.) Thanks in advance!
