Nice phone ❤🇮🇳🇮🇳

Looks like a Parker Duofold section..

Watching this review made me interested in it and I just ordered two, Olive Green with heartbeat M nib and Transparent with standard M nib. I am looking forward to the delivery.

I want it

The ink in your title card is really lovely. It looks like Noodler's Liberty Elysium, but maybe deeper? Anyway, great review and your testing process is so so pleasing!

Interesting concept. Great price. But as a writer, not so much.

I was about to purchase a kanwrite ultra flex titanium... Thank you, Doug, for saving me a whole bunch of money 💰... ❤ Derry, Northern Ireland UK 🇬🇧

Very professional how you examined all the various problems nib and feed provided. Could a Waterman grip section really fit into a Parker Vac Gen 3? Anyway, I think you are asking for a very fair price considering the enormous number of hours you have invested. Hope it finds a good new home

Thank you Murray for adding onther pen to my GRAIL list. You must be so reluctant to hand them back Doug! I will check out the second hand market which is probably the only way I can afford it. I had never seriously looked at these before. I am glad you are over COVID.

Extremely breathtaking restoration work and overall a sharp work of art! The new camera takes excellent close-ups…

I really wish we could have seen some writing with the X850 nib as that's the nib I'll be getting, and that's the nib I wanted to see to sus out whether or not I'm going to have any ink flow problems or other issues with it.

Great. Video. Doug. Well done!

I do not have the Classic but I do have the 180. I know how thin it can be, given it has about the same dimensions as the 180. It may be worth searching for it. Very good review, Doug. Would you get one for yourself?

did you age in reverse or what cause you look way younger now than whatever this is

So the blue diamond on my made in USA Parker vacuumatic means it has a lifetime warranty? It needs a little work to get it writing again.

It is interesting that Parker nibs seem to be prone to breakage. Did Parker use more fragile gold?

I'm Like number 37.

The danger with a successful restoration like his is that it emboldens amateurs like me, who would surely jack things up. I so appreciate these videos!

Another beautiful restoration completed! Those little jingles or songs are very useful to imprinting information in your mind. I still remember the definition of MCH, ( Mean Corpusculer Hemaglobin ) MCV, ( Mean Corpuscular Volume) and MCHC ( Mean Corpuscular Hemaglobin Concentration ) from a Laboratory Techniques class I took in college. I had a particular difficulty remembering those, and so I sang them over and over, to myself and I aced the test.

I like your restorations, but I hate it when you remove the name of the person who once owned it. It’s like your erasing that person once existed.

I think the saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same, meaning that no restoration is identical. There is always something that is different. It is why I think an excellent auto mechanic is an artist, especially when restoring a 25 year old vehicle and there is no manual to tell you how to fix it. Great restoration, Doug.

It was my dream vintage pen but till today I couldn't find one in writing position 💯✍️🌀. Thankq

From now on Pen resurrection Sunday will be known as the Pen Porn Sunday!!!😂

The sack for those aerometric fillers actually made out of nylon, not vinyl. I do agree that vacumatics are better. Great resurrection as always!

Call it Lazarus!

That section looks like it could be a Waterman

I ordered and paid for a pen from Gravitas on March 24/24. It has never shipped. The company has not responded to any communication sent to their website.

Now that's a resurrection! Nice to be able to use all the tools again.

So, it was made in Canada, sold to Malay, now back home after half a century.

I'm in a dilema, between buying the e95s Medium or buying 3 $usd pens, like p20, hongdian N12, M800. 🤔 quality or quantity I already have asvine v126, wing sung 630, T1, lamy safary, Jinhao 6019.

Sorry Doug, I had too much going on to catch the stream live, but have since watched the replay. The thing I found the most interesting was when you mentioned wanting to remove the nib/feed from the Pilot E95s. I've been wanting to do that myself so I could give mine a deep cleaning. The problem I'm having is figuring out the dimensions to use to fabricate my own tool, which you happened to mention as well. It was some time back I found this very interesting video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grZzpZlk1bmumHk.html ! I'm not sure if you've seen it or not, and it goes into good detail on disassembly/reassembly (but no tool dimensions). And then I saw this video and the tool this person fabricated to accomplish the same task: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZp0n6eJudXLg4U.html ! Maybe these videos will be a big help to you!

What an interesting episode. This is the sort of thing that no instruction manual would cover, but which must have been commonplace 'back in the day.' Your restorations are an invaluable addition to to the general body of knowledge in the FP world. Many thanks, from Col of Coolaroo.

32:50 The section looks like a duo fold red like section from Parker maybe ?

I love that the speaker introduced you, in part, as a fountain pen enthusiast. This is lovely, Doug.
