In Topic: PenTrace closing?

Could it be Stepher Overbury threatning a lawsuit against Luis and Pentrace? There was some drama going on between these 2 individuals maybe 2 weeks ago.


In Topic: Brandon Cifani (Brando090) is engaged in fraud

Surprising, but, I saw this thread today (01/29/14). I hope that Brandon is out of the pen community. We dont need bad eggs like him spoiling it for everyone else. BTW, if anyone has been victimised , contact the Oxford, MI., Police or the Oakland County District Attorney's Office. They are  strict with criminals in that County.


In Topic: Finding a card illustrated by my uncle 25 years ago.

It is great you found your late Uncle's card, David. Maybe you should get some sort of a cover for it? The kind they use to preserve archival materials in libraries.

Hello John!!!!! Sid from Ann Arbor here. Good to have you join us here. 

And, I used a Parker 45 all the way through high school.  If you are patient you can find  good ones on EBay for $40.00, sometimes for as less as $30.00


In Topic: Parker 100 Redux

30 December 2013 - 05:46 PM

Well, I bought one from Pentrace for about $65.00 about 4 or 5 years ago.. At first the pen seemed to skip a lot, and  the nib seemed to have the tines misaligned. I got frustrated enough that I was ready to throw it away. Then my friend Vivek( another regular from Pentrace)  came by to visit me, and he took the Parker 100 out of the recycling bin, and he went to work on it. He used a rubber bulb to blow out all the ink gunk that had accumulated in the feed/collector, and then he aligned the tines of the nib. 

Since then, the pen has worked perfectly, it has a wonderful smooth nib, and ink flows very well. So much so that now I am looking for a second one!!!!! :)
