How to Lubricate / Regrease Pelikan M200 / Piston Filler in general (Text Narration Only). [CC]

Please turn on closed caption for additional info!
In this video, I'm going to demonstrate the how to regrease / lubricate the M200's Piston Filler. This method should generally applicable to other piston filler pen, even outside of pelikan brand.
For a piston filler pen such as a Pelikan M200, the piston unit will slow become sticky / difficult to travel along the barrel. After numerous refills, cleaning, and eter, especially cleaning with soapy water or scrapping the barrel with cotton bug, the lubricant which is keeping the piston travel smoothly will slowly being washed off. Therefore, regreasing is an important step to keep the piston filler operates smoothly for long term.

This was a great video! I haven't had to do this yet but I was curious to see how it's done.

Great and informative video. I have the same M200 in Marble Brown also, and have some silicone (for watches) grease somewhere around the house. It'll take some hunting to find it.

[@jacobonfountainpen]

Thanks for watching! I hope it helps to restore your M200's piston back to glory! I liked the brown marbled so much.

[@cliffberry1900]

@@jacobonfountainpen I truly think the Brown Marbled is THE nicest color in their entire line; including the higher up models.

[@jacobonfountainpen]

Yes! When I set out to purchase a M200 or M205, I did my research for so long for all the finishes, which one looks better. Concluded the Brown Marbled is the best looking. And I finally got it in hand, it just so beautiful.

Great video, Jacob. Well done! I have both Brown and Green Marbled versions and they are beautiful to look at and write with. An absolute classic. Cheers!

Will it work in twsbi eco fountain pen??

[@jacobonfountainpen]

Yes it will work. I don't have a TWSBI eco. But I understand that it's section is removeable from the barrel, so you can do it that way, no need to remove nib for ECO. Also ECO supposed to come with a silicone oil and a wrench that you can use to remove the piston mechanism, you can lubricate that way too.

[@melissaadp]

@@jacobonfountainpen sure thanks a lot for the info👍🏻

[@jacobonfountainpen]

Definitely check out other videos on maintenance of TWSBI eco, it's a popular pen, so there's lots of video out there! 😀
