Hi there, I have a few old fountain pens that I'd like to restore to a working condition but I don't have the know-how myself to do it :blush: , they are mostly lever-fillers that need an ink sac replaced. Does anyone know of anybody who is capable of doing this repair? Preferably in New Zealand since I don't want to post the pens very far, say, to the UK. I tried contacting Rodger Bamford but can't find any way since his old website has a new owner. Any help would be great, thanks.

:)

If you have "pens" i,e,several, then shipping to the UK would not be so prohibitive, the return postage from UK - NZ is not expensive.

 

That said there are certainly a few Australian repairers who could do this for you. Hint: look at the UK pens forum and check out posters who come from nearer to you. Their comments will tell you what you need to know, and those I have communicated with are all very approachable.

I have Rodgers contact details but would rather private message you - I am new to this - is there someway to PM?

Also new owner of the website should have an email for Rodger - he gave up the web site etc to focus on repairs so he is still around doing them.

      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..

      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
