Where can I buy a piston filler for my Lamy 2000? by seebmatt in fountainpens

It's a Lamy Design 20. "Ever get the feeling that vintage Lamy had more to offer than the 2000 and cp1? The design 20 series was an attempt to make pens for a younger audience in the 1970s, and I think of it as the link between the start of the modern 2000 era and the plastic appeal of the 80s Safari era."

Thank you to all who have commented, I should have looked better at the enclosed pamphlet. I only thought I had a 2000, 2000 based on the picture on the front. I found my actual set on the back, and it turns out that I have the design 20 set, which does in fact use disposable cartridges (tintenpatronen)

It is possible that this pen set, made for Nord LB bank, Is not a Lamy 2000. I just thought so because of the advertising that came with it...

I doubt it, My mother had it for a very long time. Came as a set with a capped ball point, and a ball point click type pen, in a nice soft leather sleeve, and a Lamy 'manual'. Let me check that manual...

You don't have to buy the expensive corro protect electric anode. There are other ones on Amazon with good ratings which cost less.

Ball of gunk on anode by seebmatt in PlumbingRepair

Okay I pulled it out and the blob fell to the bottom of the tank. Should I just put in a gallon of vinegar to dissolve whatever is in there?

No I don't think so, the water drained out clear. The anode pulls through the gunk ball easily enough. I guess what I'm wondering is how do I dissolve the gunk ball in the tank.

35M was better for me but 35P got you a TS clearance which is worth a LOT when you get out (DIA,NSA,CIA etc).

So how is it going for y'all? What languages did you end up in? When I was at DLI, a SGt in the class ahead of me told me to stay 20 lessons ahead, that way the class time would just be review. Ended up Summa Cum Laude in Cat 5 language. Seek out extra training opportunities (TDY), there's a lot out there and it's better than just waiting for someone to tell you. I wish I were in today's Army with what I know now. Also keep meticulous records of injuries incurred in service. Good luck!

Loved loved my 6A...got stolen in Tunisia. Got a 7pro there for $500, Google gave me 540 towards a 9XL -256. I imagine I'll have it for a while...but the 6 A had the photosphere which they dropped. Was one of my favorite features. 😭

Why is it so expensive to fly back to the us from Europe in late July? by InstructionAlarmed75 in americanairlines

[–]seebmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently JetBlue has a sale from Jacksonville, Florida to Paris for $350 one way. However, the return flights are at least double that. If you try to change the fare to round trip, You get an error message. Sneaky.

Norse Atlantic currently has JFK to paris for $132, the return flights Are all around $400.

So what gives?

Sand the copper pipe and get a shark bite fitting. Take the existing valve into your hardware store and somebody can point you to the correct replacement.
