Montblanc Pistons

[Charles Kang]

Useful and interesting information.

Does anyone know how long can the converters in Mont Blanc pens last before it starts to leak.?

Is there any particular precautions to take to prolong the life of converters?

I believe replacing converters can be quite expensive for Mont Blanc pens.

Thank you, this is great. I suspect people will keep resurging this as they inevitably draft towards adding the critical MBs to their collections, as I have done and am now reading all I can about the 149 I'm anxiously awaiting.

 

Eric, as a side note I'm glad to see one that I could trust with repairs so close to home. You are on the north side of the Springs?

I see a lot of Montblanc pens on ebay with the rear cone separated (part 3.1 from the IPBD) from the threaded rod. How does that disassemble?
