Worn Down Threads On A Parker 61

[Ursus]

I have an English Parker 61 from the early 60's whose barrel and section tend to fall apart when I open the pen. Is there anything to do about it?

I have a 75 with the same problem and that has been rather easy to solve at least on a temporary basis, but the threads of the 61 are a lot finer and it does not seem like a possibility just to wrap something around the threads like I have done with the 75...

Hi,

 

I had the same problem with a CC-filling 61. The original plastic connector had more or less disintegrated and I bought a new brass one from custom pen parts (http://www.custompenparts.co.uk/9-parker-pen-parts).

Hope this helps.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob

Roger's brass connectors arew pretty good, another happy customer here.

Thank you, what an excellent idea!
