My 1st Touchdown White Dot Restoration.

[KBeezie]

Not the first I've had restored, but the first I restored and polished myself.

Once disassembled was pretty clear it needed a new sac (hard as a rock, but least not in pieces), and a new o-ring.



Cleaned and Polished up the pen while I was waiting for sac and ring to come in (didn't need to order sac cement or silicone grease since I already had it from several lever-filler restores).

Got it all together.



Got it inked up with some Akkerman #6 (Binnehof Blues) and adjusted/aligned and smoothed the nib.



So not only my first TD restore, but my first White Dot owned.

I figure this to be a 1950 because the Statesman (Early TD) was only 49-50, and in '49 they serial numbered the nibs.
