Who here does repair of old FP's??

[Rudy Vey]

I have a colleague who did clean out the house of his late grand father. He found a lot of old fountain pens. Most of them are in not so good shape when it comes to nibs and blatters/sacs. Is someone here on IAP a fp repair person who would be willing to help out?? I will be meeting my colleague again next week Friday for lunch and hope I have some name and e-mail addresses so he can have some of the pens repaired.

Rudy,

I would PM DCBluesman and Penworks for two.

Rudy,

I am starting to repair old pens. I have the tools and can do some basic repairs like re-sacs, cleaning the feeds, etc. Most of my experience is w/lever and a few piston types, but I'd be glad to take a look at what he has and let him know. Most repair guys online charge about $35-$50 for a basic restore job, if nib work is needed. I won't charge near that, as I still am learning. I'm not really a nib specialist, but can do some very basic alignment/polishing type stuff. Feel free to PM me and I'll give you my contact info.

Those are the first two that came to my mind also.

You may also want to consider this guy. Aaron is really quite good!

you can see him work at his ustream channel, he has audio and video so you can type a question and listen to his answer. Look for the repair webcam link
