myn Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) I have pm'd both mods twice now - the first around Dec. 15th, then Brian Anderson again yesterday and Gerry today. They must be away, maybe not receiving their emails or too busy. It's getting a bit discouraging because this is a great resource for everyone and I'm really not sure why they aren't responding, other then for sometimes life get's in the way. Edit spelling goof.

myn Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Gerry, I sincerely hope all is well with your mom and that she is recovering and getting her mobility back. Life sure has a way of smacking us upside the head when we least expect it. I hope that you also are breathing a little easier now - that's an awful scare for anyone to have gone through, especially when it's one of your folks. Thank you so much for making this a sticky article. Very much appreciated. "Minds are like parachutes. They only function when open."

People heal slowly at 93 so it will be some time before she's up and around like usual. It was pretty frightening at first though. All your positive thoughts and good wishes are appreciated.

ScienceChick Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Where can a buy another nib for my "Estie?" Would like a broad nib. Love the one I have. C. Anderson's Pens has a very good selection of Estie nibs for, IMO, reasonable prices. And there's always eBay. http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad301/cynthiapowers/9a3c4b09-5684-4070-874c-d3e7313947e7.pngLife is too short to use crappy pens. -carlos.q Link to post Share on other sites

Drago1265 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hello,I was pretty excited yesterday to find an SJ in cobalt blue at a flea market. It needs some work and I want to do it myself. I am looking to find a jewel cap & clip for a SJ cobalt blue, it is a screw type cap. The sac needs to be replaced and I was wanting to know how to determine what size sac is needed? I have seen a few different numbered sac's and want to make sure I buy the correct one. I also have a hairline crack in the body of the pen and wanted to know the best glue to use on it? Thank you in advance. D Link to post Share on other sites

Hobiwan Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Is there any guide for repairing the plunger-fill Safari handy?You can go out to the Esterbrook forum level and search "this forum" with the word "plunger". There are two or three threads showing the subjects, one showing the innards, etc. The closest thing I could find to the plunger-fill sac is a Waterman small ink-vue sac (IMS).
