Parker 75 stripped section threads

Recommended Posts

I have this sterling 75 that a prior owner pulled the barrel off rather than unscrewing it.  The plastic section threads no longer engage with the barrel.  Otherwise the pen fills and writes very well.  Can someone replace just the section?

I've noticed that this is a wear point on my P75's even without mishandling. I've seen a kludgy "fix" by wrapping teflon tape around the threads--- but that's not more than a very temporary answer. I'll follow this thread in hopes of learning more!

Replace the section. Rather common to see. 
 

Common sections run around 45 used and 75 new stock.

This is a very common problem with 75s. I still have my first one, given to me in '67 when I graduated from high school. The first time I replaced the section, I got one without the 0 indicator. Went looking for another with the 0 recently and couldn't find one, but did find an intact 75 with the proper section (and flat tassies) for a good price, so just bought the whole pen. In addition to the sentimental value, 75s are just great pens, and the interchangeability of the nibs is just a bonus.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

      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
