    Default Who do you recommend for celluloid repairs?

    I own a vintage Pilot lever filler that has a cracked barrel (possible shrinkage?) and may need to have the section joint turned down as well to allow a crack repair to be functional.

    So many restoration projects...

    Ron Zorn (Main Street Pens) does these well. If he doesn't work out, another (newer) repair person is Stacey Hills, of paperwantsapen.com. I know all of the work of his I've seen is very good.

    Thanks Jon. Lathe work is still beyond my skill level. El Zorno is the man.

    Ah, ok, I'll file that away for reference. Saw the pics on IG from the club meet - fun!
