Is There Any Way To Fix A Sheaffer 440 Feed?

1. I realize the answer is probably "no."

 

2. I realize that even if the answer is "yes," the chances of my doing this successfully on my first try are slim to none..

 

However...

 

The feed on my 440 had to come out. Out it came. And it is made in two parts - the main feed, and then a little piece that fits into the main feed, and has a perilously thin, fragile extension. This extension fits into the metal casing that pierces the cartridge and conveys the ink to the rest of the feed.

 

The extension part broke off the rest of the little piece that fits into the main feed.

 

I think the feed is plastic. Is there a solvent that might convince this little piece to stick back on to the slightly larger piece, and if so, what solvent would that be?

 

On the other hand, I suppose that Sheaffer might actually still have a part for sale - probably the whole kit and caboodle of a feed. In that case, does anyone know how I get a hold of one?

Please contact me via our web site. I can send you a new feed for the cost of postage.

Thanks to Teri Morris, my pen is now fixed and writing again.

 

I have to say that the "customer service" I received from Teri doing me a favor was far and away better than I usually get when I have purchased an item, even an expensive item. After all that consideration, the feed arrived in a box, wrapped in bubble wrap, far better protected than most of the pens I have purchased.

 

Based on this experience I expect to be doing more actual business with PSP as occasions arise.
