Ride TheoryAm I fixing one #FountainPen with parts from another, or am I ruining two fountain pens? Time will tell.
My wife broke the tip of the nib or her Parker Vacumatic years ago (before she knew me, I think) and it has been languishing in a drawer ever since. Today, at an antique store, I spotted a similar pen with a slightly bent nib for $3. I just heated them both up with a hair dryer and removed the nib sections. Soaking the replacement nib in 10% ammonia solution now.
