Pelikan 800 Exploded View

Is it possible to clean inside and out with soap and then rinsing off with water?

[Ron Z]

It really isn't needed. In most cases rinsing with water is enough You can unscrew the nib and rinse with water. Don't use soap, especially on the nib, only a few drops of Dawn dish detergent diluted in water.

 

Don't try to remove the filler unit to clean the pen. The 100-600 model pens have a snap-in filler unit. Remove it a couple of times (and it isn't easy!) and you'll snap off the rings, which will allow the piston assembly to jack out of the barrel. You need a special tool to unscrew the 800 and 1000 filler assemblies.

Actually you need just a flat wrench, and remember it unscrews clockwise. Metal wrenches added by TWSBI to some of their pens fit Pelikans M8xx and M10xx

Thanks for this - fascinating. Question for you - on my Pelikan, the grip knob that controls the drive spindle is loose - it's just not immobile when the drive spindle is fully retracted pulling in ink. Can that be "tightened"? and if so, how?

They friction fit the rings, actually.

 

The whole process is documented in this video.

Nope - injection molded just like MB. I needed to cut one up for something, and the two rings are connected together with little metal tabs, and the plastic is injected around it all.

 

That's what the machine the ring was put into is doing. If they were swaged on the cap wouldn't be injection molded, it would be machined, and there would be somebody placing the ring on the finished cap, and tightening a collet around the ring to tighten it onto the cap. That's not what's happening here.

 

Here's another video showing how it's made-

Just wondering and perhaps off topic, could a R800 rollerball be converted to a M800 fountain pen? Looks like the piston assembly would fit, not certain if the part where the section goes screws out on the R800..

 

thanks for the picture, it’s now part of my advanced 800 project folder 😁👍🏻

The rollerball pens have a brass sleeve inserted into the barrel,  that will have to be pulled.  I don't know if the ID of the barrel of a RB is any different than a fountain pen with the sleeve removed or not.   I haven't had a reason to pull one. You'll have to find a filler unit as well, meaning brass thread bushing, spindle drive, spindle and piston seal.  You'll also have to unscrew the cone from the front end of the section.

is it possible to include this photo as the exploded?
