Considering I can't seem to find a Magna, this sounds like a great option!  The Vacuumatic is somewhat similar to (though I understand more complicated) than the Onoto plunger mechanism, right?

They are around. Just have to keep an eye out for them. The black pen would be the more affordable pen.

 

So long as you have the Vac Wrench and the Diaphragm, I would say the Vacumatic is easier to repair. There are also more parts available.

Thank you. I thought it might be a Parker 51 Coronet.

Not a particularly good pen. The Parker 49 and 50 were better.

For the most part, I'd agree with Carguy.  But if I have to do research and take a lot of notes?  It's gonna be the 51 Vac with the nicely tuned EF nib....

Your intention encourages me to buy another P51 shortly, too :)

They haven’t joined my collection quite yet but are on the way.  One Parker 51 in black/silver and a couple of vintage slim folds.   They were cheap and I’m down with back and neck issues, so it’s a little retail (eBay) therapy.

That's an attractive looking pen.  Do you happen to know if it comes as an FP model as well?  (Yeah, like I really need more pens... :headsmack:)

I only buy locally and I've never seen this finish here. Also has an interesting lined, chrome-plated section ring. No nib but I have plenty. 

(Will arrive in a few days - these are the seller's photos.)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
