Specialist Pen Repairs |
|
including but not limited to |
|
We have offered a repair service on vintage pens since 1990 and now handle some of the more complex repairs for the majority of pen-specialist shops around Australia as well as being a recommended repairer of vintage Parker & Waterman Pens by Sanford Australia (Parker). We carry an extensive range of spare parts for most of the pens commonly found in Australia and many more besides. |
|
If your pen is less than 10 years old, or still under a manufacturer's warranty, then it should be returned to the manufacturer's service department, preferably through the original retailer. |
|
The cost of repairs is based on a Basic Service Fee which includes consumable parts (Rubber Sacs, Plunger Washers, "O" Rings etc). Other parts used (e.g. nib, clip, barrel) are at additional cost. Quotes will not be provided unless the total cost, including additional work and parts, is likely to exceed the basic amount by more than 40%. As the vast majority of repairs are for our Australian Customers, the following price list assumes that all repairs will be shipped to an Australian address and paid for in Australian Dollars. Where another currency is to be used and/or shipping to other countries is required, please contact us first. |
