What Parkers Have Joined Your Collection Lately?

I have a 65. It is one of my most frustrating pens due to really variable and intermittent ink flow. It's too bad, because when flowing the broad nib is simply stunning. I'm not hammering it to get flex, so I'm not sure what's going on. I keep cleaning it all out again and again, searching for a different result that never arrives!

What ink(s) are you using in it?
Because of the capillary filler system on my 61s, I'm VERY careful about what inks I use in mine (and bought myself a larger bottle of J Herbin Eclat de Saphir just for using in those pens).

I think that the 65 has a screw in nib and feed/collector. Ron Z posted a P 65 exploded photograph, 

There is a 65 nib and feed on eBay right now.  It is definitely a screw in.

Parker 65 has a screwed in nib but with a catch. don't unscrew it from the front.

Pointy bit on the section is rather think and breakable and will snip right off when attempting to unscrew from the front.



Incorrectly unscrewed vs a complete parker 65.

I've been using Parker blue cartridges (obviously it's a later model).

 

Thanks,
