My very first fountain pen is an Elysée, no longer made - boo! (So lovely, too, elegant green with golden flecks...)

The acrylic around the nib section just came loose, and spins without unthreading it (does that make sense?). I can still screw & unscrew it because there's a ¼" metal bit at the end, but if anyone knows how to fix this, can you let me know?

Linz, you might remember this as the same problem I had with that Lepine. I don't abuse my fountain pens, honest! *wail*

I'll take a look at it if you like.

[ginny-t.livejournal.com]

Yay! I was hoping you'd say that. :-D Thanks!

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Did you think I wouldn't? Plus I have a card for you.

[ginny-t.livejournal.com]

Nope, but I didn't want to impose, either. :-D

Glue. It sounds crude, but hey, the original adhesive didn't hold up either.

[linzq.livejournal.com]

That is actually what they'd do if you sent it in.

You can always send it to Bob - he'd do it for you. I have his number if you want (he was our vintage guy, and has done a lot of great work for me).

The problem is just getting the glue in there. But yeah, they'll "spot glue" it for you.

(And it has nothing to do with you abusing your pens, unless you sit there twisting the front bit all day long)...

Sorry for the delay in replying - just got back from Montreal!

Thanks! I'll see what chickenfeet can do, but keep Bob in mind.

How did the audition go? Montreal's good. Just a short train ride. :-D selfishGinny

I agree, Montreal is good. And they have rather yummy food. (Selfish Ginny is ok, it lets me know I'm loved!)

Good luck with chickenfeet. (I never thought I'd say that...) and let me know if you want Bob's number.

Audition went well, I'm just about to post all about it...
