How to Remove No Nonsense Feed


OCArt

Recommended Posts

I've read of folks using the feed from a No Nonsense pen in other pens.  How do you remove the feed?  To me it looks like the nib and feed are molded into the nib section.  Any tips??

Somewhere Ron Zorn discussed this if memory serves correct. 
 

certainly true that Sheaffer didn’t intend the units to be serviced beyond replacement.

I was writing this when FarmBoy put up his post. 

 

The nibs and feeds are not molded into the section, but they can be really tight.  Wiggle the nib out first.  It will take time, and it will take a lot of effort.  Then coax the feed out.  Soak for a while to soften any dried ink - a bit of Dawn in the water won't hurt.  Rinse after the soak to get the slippery suds off.  Use a grippy pad (the rubber mesh shelf liner stuff works very well) and warming the section a bit doesn't hurt.  They're a pain to do, and you have to be patient.

      ...random aside - I still have some 30 rolls of unused, long-expired Kodachrome 64 film (35mm). They have been frozen since 2009. No idea why I have held on to them for this long, but I guess I'm hoping for a miracle. I too have never developed colour film but I still d&p my B&W to this day. As a passion, of course.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.
