A good video. Can one tool be used to fix all Vacumatic pens?
Regards, Chrissy | My Review Blog: inkyfountainpens
Depending on exactly what you collect, one tool can be used for MOST Vacumatic-filling pens.
In the first generation pens, the Standard and Deb used the same size tool and Oversize used a larger one.
From the second generation on, most pens standardized to a Deb-sized diaphragm and used the same tool for removal. The Speedline filler in the Maxima uses a standard size diaphragm, but is still removed with the smaller of the two fillers.
So basically everything with this type filler-Vacumatics, Duofolds, and 51s-will use the smaller sized tool with the exception of the first gen Oversize.
Incidentally too, I'm going to be ordering diapragms later today as I'm running low, and I expect this order to last me a year or two. I'm ordering 3 each standard and oversize, and a dozen Deb size...

Notice the complexity of the filling system, and compare it to lever fillers. Parker must have put significant engineering into the design.
