The penco 53 junior is the smaller version of the 53. It's a piston filler.

The section is screwed on the barrel wit a LEFT-HANDED thread (righty loosey, lefty tighty). The material is also prone to shrinking, so you'll have to apply dry heat abundantly both during disassembly and assembly (also lubricate the threads with silicon grease).  Note that the gold band between the barrel and section is normally part of the barrel, in my specimen it's broken. The piston head is made of casein (it has the characteristic smell) and looks quite brittle, but fits well and seems to be functional.

The feed is cilindrical and you'll have to gently push it from the rear. Alignment of the feed with the nib is made easy by a slot at the rear end of the feed. The nib has a fine tip, it's elastic, with moderate feedback. The clip is spring loaded. Overall it's a nice pen, but it was quite frustrating to service.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
