Hi all
I need some help PLEASE
I have just picked up a near mint condition Conway Stewart Churchill number 5xx of 1000 so just over halfway through the production run.
I quickly found the pen had an issue with its filling system as it would only take a tiny amount of ink, and sure enough when I took it apart to investigate I found the the ink sac was badly deformed just as it joined the nipple. It looks to me like its a design fault as the lever bends the top section of the pressure bar into the barrel so when operated the pressure bar only depresses the very top section of the sac and hence the damage to the neck of the sac.
I understand that Richard Binder used to offer a mod to this pen to fix the obvious design flaw but as he is no longer doing pen repairs, anyone know what his mod was.
Thanks for any help with this
Paul
