Hi all,
I have a Pelikan 400 whose feed broke and is stuck inside the section. I tried to remove with a drill, but to no avail. The problem is detailed here: http://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread.php/12187-Funky-Pelikan-400-repair. I think the best option now is to use a drill press to drill out the bulk of the feed material, glue a dowel into the hole, and twist, but if you have a better idea let me know. Basically, if you have the sort of skill, equipment, know-how, and guts (yes, drilling a pen feels 'wrong') to attempt, I will send the pen to you. If you manage to successfully extract the feed, the pen is yours to try (I'll send along the replacement nib) for a month, I'll pay you with $30 and a funky functioning '70s Kaweco. P.M me or respond here if interested or curious.
Thanks!
