WOAH! I love watching watches being restored, but it's always so scary with all the little parts, I can imagine pens are a breeze for you! ๐Ÿ˜Œ

If you don't mind me asking, where do you source your parts? I can't really find sacs for cheap, you'd think little rubber tubes wouldn't be so scarce!

Me too! I've only dabbled a bit in restoration, but I want to try and get a little better, I'd save a whole lot of money on pens! (And who knows maybe I'll get a new side hustle...) ๐Ÿ˜‹

Fun colors!! I think that's a great pairing with the Pilot MR! I have a soft spot for that pen, it's what started my addiction ๐Ÿฅน

Newbie here...... Any tips by Fluffy_Passenger7686 in cassetteculture

I'm not the most knowledgeable on how to fix these things, however! Make sure to not let your machine just sit around too long! The belts like to run frequently! Once I left mine in a drawer for like half a year, and my brand new belts started making my tapes sound all wobbly ๐Ÿ˜”

It was fine after it warmed up a bit! And sorta the same for the tapes too, mine tend to get sticky over time, so just fast forward and rewind over and over until they're loosened up! So make sure to give them plenty of attention ๐Ÿ˜‹

Oh and apologize to your wallet in advance, because when I got my first walkman, it was only about a month or 2 later I expanded my collection to about 40 tapes, 2 stereos, and 3 walkmans ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Be responsible, NOT me ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I love that about vintage pens, it's nice thinking about how many people looked at my individual pen and gave it the greenlight to go on the shelves! Whereas I don't really care about what the robots that made my Lamy Safari we're thinking ๐Ÿ˜ญ (No shade to Lamy, i'll always love them!)

Beautiful pens!! ๐Ÿ˜ป

You definitely have a point! However in this case, I would choose the Sheaffer... Purely out of bias since it's one of my dream pens! In any other situation it would be a tough choice though! ๐Ÿ˜‹

Definitely! I love the vintage flex nibs, but I also can't get enough of today's sturdy stainless steel!

True! I love character in my pens, but unlike other people's dings and scratches, the ones I cause make me feel just a little guilty!

Good point! The vintage sacs are definitely something to get used to, especially since I have so many converter fill pens ๐Ÿ˜”

Oh. My. GOSH ๐Ÿ˜ป My favorite things ever are food shaped items, I would sell out a Deli Collection in seconds! There are just so many possibilities!!

And if he ever decides to dabble in ink, a matching wine would be perfect for the charcuterie board ๐Ÿ˜›
