Nibs, Parts, and Supplies for Vintage Fountain Pens and Pencils. We offer only a limited selection of parts. The main reason is simple: most vintage pen parts aren't interchangeable. They exhibit a maddening range of variations, and often as not even a correct original part must be hand-fitted. In most cases, it takes as much time to figure out what a do-it-yourself pen repairer actually needs as it would take to do the job ourselves, so please don't take it amiss when we ask you not to inquire about pen parts other than those listed. Please make certain that the part you are ordering is the one you need -- returns of parts will not be accepted unless defective or not as described. This also applies to renewable components, such as sacs and seals, as well as pencil lead, erasers, and the like. Unless otherwise noted, all parts are factory-made originals (this does not apply to sacs and seals, where factory originals would be age-hardened and unusable).

However, there are a few common sizes that fit a good many of the pencils made. The easiest way to determine what size eraser you need for your mechanical pencil is to measure the diameter of your old eraser in millimeters. If the eraser is gone, take a measurement of the opening where the eraser goes. Rulers work fine for this, but if you have a caliper, it will work even better! If all else fails, and no erasers are the correct diameter for your pencil (yes, it happens!) List of Mechanical Pencils and Eraser SizesClick Here. Wood Bin - Tools. Main Street Pens - Quality Pen Repair. Pen Repair: Cheap Tools, Part I If you’re like most pen collectors, you’re long on desire, and short on money. So many pens, so little cash! That gap can widen further if you like to collect vintage fountain pens, but can’t afford to have all of them repaired by a professional restorer.

That’s the reason why most collectors start doing their own repairs. So you buy a book, maybe some copies of the old repair manuals to figure out how to do things, a few sacs, maybe some vac diaphragms and dive in. There’s a way around that particular problem though, if you’re at all handy with tools. There is a whole host of repair tools that you can make with just a few simple hand tools, and maybe a power drill. When you take a pen apart, heat is your friend. The old pen repair people used an alcohol lamp to heat a pen to remove the section or heat down a feed for example. Removing the section when heated is the next step.
