Does anyone know of a person in or near The Villages that repairs fountain pens? Store brand from Paradise Pens (Bloomington, MN, out of business). 25 years old with a ton of writing on it and it needs some rejuvenating. I'm nervous about sending it out to people or organizations that I don't know.

Info appreciated!

Sorry nothing specific but some tips (based on friends who have had similar situations with watches, clocks, fountain pens, and other items. Internet search, do a broad search and then narrow it. Local antique deals such a antique stores in Wildwood and surrounding towns, and talking to those who run antique booths at Renninger's in Mt. Dora, as well as many others in the villages area. And one additional, try searching Facebook pen or fountain pen collectors groups and ask for leads.

Can’t break it anymore if it’s broke, do they even sell the ink?

Check with Coast to Coast jewelers in Oxford. They may be able to help or know someone that can help.

Thx for the input. Jewelry stores, antique dealers, etc. just might do the trick.

The internet also did turn up one good lead, "Central Florida Pen Club".
