My aunt gave me some time a go this lovely thing, called Rotring Tintenkuli. Yes, it is an oldy.

It writes beautifully, almost glides across the paper. I call it a FP with a strange nib, haha :happyberet:

 

Interesting fact is, that this pen was kept long time unused, so that remaining ink dried inside. When I got it, I just sucked some water in it (in order to clean it - soak it first) and tried to write with it. It worked. How amazing is that. :happyberet:

Having had the unpleasant experience of having to clean drawing pens (which are similar in principle), I can honestly say that yes, it is pretty amazing!

I had the same problems when I tried to clean the Senator. It took days to clean it.

 

Drawing pens as in architect pens? I know them well too, ok just from watching. My parents are architects and in "old days" everything was hand made, not like now with computers. The reason is the ink. Try to find a device for cleaning them via ionization. I will try to find the brand later on (and a pic hopefully).

 

Did you try to buy Rotring's Cleaning Fluid?

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
