My Vintage Pilot Elite

[azkid]

I bought this pen in NOS condition recently but my initial hour with it last night involved leaks from the converter and extreme hard-starting; the pen was totally unusable.

Fortunately, after some sleep, I took to it with loupe and micro-mesh -- gently and minimally -- and aligned the tines and now it writes ok.

The pen is compact yet long enough to write with unposted, which I prefer to posting the long and somewhat heavy aluminum cap.

I look forward to putting this little pen through it's paces. Currently it is inked with a Pilot Black cartridge.
