One of the best restoration I have seen. Sir, instead of putting a rubber sac, can't we put a sac which is similar to that in Japanese Pilot pens. They don't crack even if the pen is unused for years. Are silicon sacs available too? Please let me know. Thanks
Interesting story: When I was a Young(er) Man I was a cashier at Staples. One night a lady came in with her late father’s Sheaffer asking about how she might go about filling it. At this point I only had experience with modern pens, and I had NO CLUE how to operate the snorkel. After fumbling around with it I started waxing poetic on how fountain pens were superior to the pig slop for sale these days. That must’ve touched her (NOT LIKE THAT) and she said she’d rather the pen be with someone who appreciates it. So that was how I got my first vintage pen. I still have it (in pieces, ready to be re-sac’d and re-assembled). IIRC it’s a Sentinal model with the Palladium-Silver Triumph nib.
Nice video! I enjoyed the commentary while you did the restoration. Very unique style to what’s out there from other content makers. Hope you keep making more of these videos.. Thanks!!
My late father died in 1984, and bequeathed me his Sheafer fountain pen with a triumph nib (as I just found out from you!). It was a desk set. I’ve wanted to restore it for years, and have learned quite a bit just watching this one video! I’m not sure if the wraparound nib should detach from what appears to be the nipple for the ink sac. Can you tell me, before I ruin it? Thank you!
Can you send a link to where to get a replacement rubber sack for it? Is this one of the thin models because I know the sacks are different for the thin vs thick model and you need a different repair kit
