Hi all

 

I have a Pelikan P1 that is starting to stiffen up a little when filling so I need to get the filler out to clean and grease it up.

 

How do you get the piston mechanism out on these pens.

 

Thanks for any tips.

 

Paul

The piston is press fit like the M200.

Rather soak the whole pen and work the piston while the pen is submerged to get the old ink out from behind the piston.

You should then be able to use a toothpick as a 'screw' in the hole in the back of the feed to pull the nib and feed and grease the piston from the front like the other piston fillers.

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
