Parker FP restoration

[simomatra]

Just starting to get back into the shed after my cataract operations, still not quite there but there is no rush

I have started dabling into repairing old pens. This is my completed second one, both were cleaned and new sac fitted. I also show my new tools to do this work.

The work was for a friend who received his pen for his 21st and is now 78 years young, this is the one he bought for his wife. I forgot to take pictures of the first one its colour was black and also stil had its original box

Both very happy with the results.

Very nice Sam. There is nothing like making an old beauty usable again.

Very nice Sam. These were one of my favorite pens. Still are actually. Cool tools too!

Where did you get those pliers?

Nice work, by the way.

I believe that they are American made by KD tools, which specialize in automotive tools. They are for pulling spark plugs from an engine. I have a pair similar to those that I used as an auto mechanic. The rubberized tips allow for a good grip without damaging anything.
