Like many of you I usually have several pens on the repeat bench at any time, some need parts, some are parts and some are waiting for my time. I want to see photos of what you are working on. Let's try to keep things photo related if you have repair questions or parts requests start a new thread.
My current active cue has 3x "51"s, a few Esterbrooks and an Eversharp desk pen. This "51" has a missing jewel but a mysterious (to me) unmarked nib with a little flex. What are you fixing?

No pictures sorry.
The usual Esterbrooks.
The usual 51s
A pile of Sheaffer Vac-fills
And a honking big Waterman...not sure what to do with it now.

Bare nib 51 =< mid 1942. Flex is an illusion.

The usual 51's for me, one awaiting a new shell and the other in the middle of having some extensive dents removed from the cap.

I know a guy looking for a Waterman in Large, does it have a nib?

This third tier BCHR ringtop. I keep forgetting to order a sac. The section, I just realized, is inside the cap. :)

I don't really have any "on the bench." My repair sessions usually start when I choose a pen to put back into rotation and find that it needs a new sac or something. Or else, they may start when the other FP user at my office runs into a problem.

Top is Duofold Debutante (I think) bottom is a Waterman CF.
