Hi! I have an old MB 342G that seems to be in sort of the same situation. The piston won't move back and forward but the back moves well so I'm afraid something inside may have snapped? Is it worth to try and restore it or would it be too much effort? And is there any specific advice you'd give to restore it? Thank you!

Hello, Excellent post! What a nice ink bottle! I came across one from that period that is green color. See: www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2024_12/PXL_20241207_032859872.thumb.jpg.48a8cfb9365283eca78044f771214254.jpg

What is the red stuff you use as a sealant? Is it some sort of wax or resin?
@MSPensАй бұрын
Hi, it is some wax that I like to use for sealing.

What tool did you use to remove/install the cork retainer? Are they available and will the same tool work for the cork retainer on the 334 1/2? Thank you!

Wonderful work! One question: How did the nib/feed assembly squeeze so easily back in when it took knocking out in the first place? Was there any lubrication involved?
@MSPens2 ай бұрын
Hi, I have not used any lubricant. After the intense cleaning, it was much easier to put it back in. The feed was so stuck because of the old/dried ink.

I went through your shop , it’s really wonderful to see instruments and accessories but what about the helical rod how can one get that or replace the plastic one with brass or iron one . ??
@MSPens3 ай бұрын
Hi, do you mean the rod I used to press in the cork? In the meantime, I’ve made a more elegant tool where you can switch the tip depending on the model. This tool will be available in the shop in the coming days. But a plastic or wooden rod with the right diameter and about a 5mm hole will also work. Best regards!

Hii there , it’s really wonderful to see you restoring these pens , could you please provide where can I get these sacs ? For Parker 51 or vaccumatic . Is there any process by which one can make it at home ?
@MSPens3 ай бұрын
I bought the sacs a few years ago, but unfortunately, I don't remember where. However, I do recall that after some time searching online, I found them. There’s definitely a way to make the sacs yourself, but I haven’t looked into that yet. Maybe in the future.

I don't want to discourage people but please do not take risk working on vintage especially celluloid pens, the guy is so skilled, you don't want to see bubbles popping up after glue use. Besides that, nobody should experience a crack sound while disassembly of such vintage beauty.

Yes, you're right, you have to know exactly what you're doing with antique celluloid writing instruments. The sound of such an antique masterpiece breaking will haunt you for a long time. 🥲

Why bother? Expensive pen, I Sent mine for ink-flow issues to Mont Blanc authorized service dealer in 1979. They removed the brand new cap, which was part of my pen, replaced it with a damaged, worked out cap. On top of that they insisted I should pay for service, which was supposed to be done under warranty. Mont Blanc makes expensive garbage. I switched to Lamy Safari 12 to 18 DM at the time, about $9...still working perfectly.
