Who Would You Trust To Repair A Leaky Tuckaway?

[laurieapg]

Who would you recommend to repair and refurbish a snorkel-style Tuckaway that leaks where the barrel joins the nib?

Thanks,

Laurie

Not sure what you mean by "snorkel style Tuckaway". Does it fill with a thin plunger rod or thick tube like the snorkel used? If the latter most any repair person will do. I'd suggest Danny Fudge in the US. If the former, Ron Zorn, Sheryl Tyree, Gerry Berg in the US.

Ron Zorn but at last I heard he was not taking anymore orders until he gets caught up. Still worth the wait. Not affiliated just another happy customer.

Sorry if I have the terminology wrong--while I have loved fountain pens for years, and have several, I am new to the terminology. It fills with a thin plunger rod.

 

I appreciate the suggestions. I love this little pen and want to be able to use it again.

Ron Zorn had repaired one of my favorite crests triumph vac filled pens. Ron Meloche and Joel Hamilton also do a very a good job when it comes to vac fill restoration

Gerry Berg is my go-to guy for plunger styled Sheaffers. He's in the USA, reasonably priced, does an amazing job, and has a pretty reasonable wait list. Zorn is great too, but given the long wait list, I save him for my other pens that need fixing. Gerry specializing in the plunger style filler Sheaffers.
