Roll Call? (& time to de-lurk)
Hello Everyone,
Been following acpp for a while & thought this group was pretty much dead until I noticed some recent activity. Three things then. 1.) I'm hoping "Roll Call" (replies to this topic) might answer how many people are still here if I have questions. (Mr. Ketterling has a point about 'lost' threads on popular html boards.) 2.) For the 'regulars' here, who the devil is "FPN at...mail-o-nator"? Safe to open this gentleman's posts? Been relying on others who quote him. 3.) Anyone here able to answer questions about pen restoration & repair. thanks & enjoy your morning --Bruce |

Well of course we're out here! 2.) For the 'regulars' here, who the devil is "FPN at...mail-o-nator"? Safe to open this gentleman's posts? Been relying on others who quote him. I think he started posting kind of recently, though that's just my impression. I could be way off on that one. 3.) Anyone here able to answer questions about pen restoration & repair. I think there are some people who know some people who could help, but I myself don't have much expertise in this area, as I use mostly modern fountain pens, and when they are damaged, I send them to the manufacturer. -- Aaron W.

For an early Waterman 412, need sterling clip, & repairman or silversmith to solder silver domical end piece onto overlay. Also for a Waterman 52 need "Waterman Ideal Reg US Pat.Off." nib for authenticity. Failing that, a "Waterman Ideal New York" nib will do even though 'earlier' than pen is supposed to have. Thanks everyone for your replies. --Bruce |

I'm fairly new to 'vintage' collecting pens, so pardon if following might sound a silly question. Who is John Klein? Can he help with pen? thx --Bruce |

Thanks, Had all but given up on use-net because of mal-ware, but many of the server names looked 'legit' & no luck contacting several recognized repairmen & parts suppliers. (That's not a snipe at anyone *here*-- just a sad commentary on slow demise of Use-Net itself over the years.) If someone *does* know of parts source, or repairman to help with pen-- will include slightly scrambled e-mail addy. "bb03912ATgmailDOTcom" For valid address-- "the even number goes before 'nothing'..." --Bruce PS: will try to leave that address open until "slammed with spam. Thanks again for welcome & reply! --Bruce |

I have tried reading places like FPN, but the microscopic font there is useless. Come on, wise up folks, respond to the font size setting, or do without older users. Not really ranting - glad to see this fine newsgroup still has a pulse. -- Alan |
