ha ha.

 

and then it would be a touchdown. man you're a genius.

[ticoun]

what sac size did you use on the sheaffer cartridge?

[watch_art]

I dunno. A 20 I think. I just had a baggy full of sacs and I found one that fit tight, and shellac'd it on.

So what's the status now? Has the pen stopped burping ink?

[watch_art]

so far so good. there's not even any ink seeping out of the nib and into the cap. it's been great! still not done playing with it yet - there's a drop or two of ink left.

[tmenyc]

yes, the public needs to know! Show us the splat on next year's teaching contract!

Well, by now I've run it out of ink and not had a bit of ink splat into the cap or burp out on the page. It's been great!

Supposedly, one of the reasons the ED stayed popular in the tropics was rubber rot.

One lived with a burping pen, because .... because .... no one trained anyone to repair them locally....or did the sacs rot while waiting for a customer?

 

Is silicon sac's affected by this.

Or that P-51 material.

 

I like the pictures of various lever pens including some Waterman pens with a brass insert for holding a lever. I thought them classy.

 

I that my first fountain pen was a lever action back in the day of the 15 cent kiddy Saturday afternoon double movie manatee. I like them and have no problem.

 

My '48-52 sac is slowly dieing in my gray Esterbrook DJ, It don't suck as much ink up as before, but I'm going to use it until death do us part.

Right now I'm winning.
