No, the Es...You're most welcome for the video!<br /><br />No, the Esterbrook plastic is sturdy enough, where with moderate pressure, it will not deform in any way. I suppose with a lot of force it could dent. But anything like fixing a clip wouldn't cause this type of pressure.<br /><br />An Aerometric 51 has the exact same front end as a vac-51. The only difference is the filler unit. I'm not sure if/when I'll make a video of that. :)777 Pen Repairhttp://777penrepair.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95460470231784707.post-18710648124855795912011-07-29T19:48:31.173-05:002011-07-29T19:48:31.173-05:00Tyler, thank you so much for this new "tech&q...Tyler, thank you so much for this new "tech"(refering to video), sharing your knowlegde is very kind all your videos are very explicit.

Some keys are to thick and others are to sharp to be jamming under your clip and twisting.<br /><br />I think the butter knife eliminates most of these problems provided that you:<br />1 - use the drinking-straw piece<br />2 - when twisting with the knife, ensure that the non-serrated edge is pushing against the pen.<br /><br />Either way both work well!<br /><br />Regards,<br />777 - Tyler Dahl777 Pen Repairhttp://777penrepair.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95460470231784707.post-17455552329051971742011-06-13T03:51:58.859-05:002011-06-13T03:51:58.859-05:00Thanks for the tutorial and photos---very useful! ...Thanks for the tutorial and photos---very useful! There is an alternate way to fix a bent Esterbrook clip using a common house/lock key. I read about it on FPN:<br />http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33761&hl<br />Similar principle, but one less tool needed :)Majanoreply@blogger.com
