At long last, I was able to get a good diaphragm replacement on camera. Now I just have to shoot for getting a touchdown/snorkel seal in.
However, this was a great pen to repair. I was happy to get a nib challenge, and I will say that this is the most bent nib I have every tried. So, I'm super happy with how it turned out. So much going on with this nib - straighten, align, and then make sure it and the section are well approximated. I would love to get any feedback on this nib work - leave comments.
These early parker pens - and I include the striped duovac in this statement, are true works of art. I love the Art Deco ornamentation/esthetic. This particular pen cleaned up quite well and I'm happy that the trim was not tarnished and the art deco cap band could be shown off.
For this repair:
Heat (hair drier/heat gun)
Grippers
Nib block/tools
Dowels
Diaphragm
Tools for diaphragm removal - dremmel tool and bits or just a needle!
Lubricant (Vacumatic lubricant/silicone grease)
Talc
Tool for removing plunger unit
Polishing supplies
Nib straightening
Nib block if you can find one (believe this came from Pen Tooling)
Metal dowel for burnishing/smoothing - and this may be the primary tool you need. The ball-tipped tools are a bonus
Heat supply may soften the nib a bit.
Loop for aligning

There is a RU-vidr that fixes Parker 51s he shows a very detailed how-to. Look for Triumph Vintage Pens. Unfortunately he hasn’t updated is videos for years.

Nice work with the nib. What about using a bench hook to secure the nib block while you are working? Also, do you know if the vac-filler mechanism from a Wing Sung 601 would fit the Parker? After all, they are Parker clones. Thanks for the show. Cheers from Oz.

I will have to look into what a bench hook is. All a big learning process for me. And, unfortunately, I haven't really branched out into the asian FP market. If you get bold and try it, do share!

@@letstalkfountainpens8052 Woodworkers use bench hooks as stops to hold work without the bother of clamps; they are made of three pieces of wood, and look like a long 'S' with stubby top and bottom. As for Chinese pens I have found the Wing Sung 601 (Parker 51 clone) good value for money and it has a replaceable vac-filler unit. The Jinhao 51 and 51A (@ $3-$4) is astoundingly good quality. And you won't cry if you loose one. All the best for Christmas and the New Year.

I think it does but the blind cap of the Parker 51 will not fit onto the threads of the Wing Sung 601 filler unit. That’s what I’ve heard in discussions anyway. I’ve not tried it myself at all. Cheers
