Dale will be at the SF pen show in a few weeks.
Try’em and buy’em.

Laurence Oldfield offers a collection of very useful repair and restoration tools, many unique to him.
He does but some are expensive and he only accepts cheques or adds on a percentage if you want to use PayPal.Quote:

Why should he accept a lower payment because you wish to use PayPal? Is writing a cheque so onerous?
Sadly I'm afraid it is for me. I wouldn't buy anything online nowadays that requires payment by cheque. I would rather not have it than take the risk. :(Quote:

If you are going to repair pens, you are likely to be able to make some yourself. I have a couple of articles on my website with instructions on making your own basic repair tools. Take a look at Cheap Tools part 1 and Cheap Tools Part 2.
