Thank you so much 😊 I appreciate this video and you

Thanks for the video. I just got an used one and it seems the little plastic o-ring is missing. Any advice on what to do?

Thank you so much, brother. I just cleaned my 823. Your video was really useful.

Not an extra shot on the FT stage - was less than 20 rds for the stage. Extra hit? - not sure - the impact dust in the distance kind of looked a bit to the left of the target, so maybe no penalty there. Thanks for the help at the match!

I love this pen! You're very lucky to have it!

1:17 I tried that with a TWSBI wrench that has come with a TWSBI Eco I have purchased, and the plastic wrench totally deformed while trying to unscrew the plunger. Low-quality plastic for the TWSBI wrench, I can tell. Result: I have not managed to unscrew the plunger, plus I felt I might have damaged the threads of the latter. Conclusion: it might be worthy trying with a different wrench, and not with a PLASTIC TWSBI wrench. Thanks: thank you for the excellent video - you have been wise enough to use a metallic wrench and not one of the plastic TWSBI wrenches they put in the pen boxes these days.

Thank you for the video :)

Nice runs broher. Looking good!!

Is it worth it?

Thank you so much for this video! I just ordered the Franklin Christoph silicone Grease - can't wait to clean my pen.

I was cleaning my pen and this is hard to explain but the middle part of the plunger assembly is stuck up in the top. I can’t unscrew it and I don’t have enough space to get the twsbi tool in there. Any ideas? Also, I tried to eye dropper it and the ink ran through.

very helpful! this saved me i almost broke my fude de mannen, but the mechanism still works the same just with fewer parts. glad i found this vid, tnx for sharing dude ☮️

Unfortunately, I don’t have grease, so that may be one of the reasons why when I push and pull the plunger, it feels too stiff to refill my Pilot 823 with ink. I sometimes have the problem of way too much ink excessively leaking from the grip section.

did you have cracks in the pen after all these years? i heard the grip section cracks after some time if you unscrew it.

Thank you so much, friend. I started fiddling around and 😅 thought, O my what will happen if I keep unscrewing this, and I soon found out! I was able to put it back with your help. Maybe silly question, but does petroleum jelly work as good as the lubricant you used, are there alternatives? Thank 😊

Dear Phillip, today arrived my Pilot Custom 823, which I ordered thanks to your video. So I don't have to be affraid, that I am not able to give it a proper clean in the future. Thank you very much!

Just ordered a 823 in F and 845 in M

Excellent! Just in the process of cleaning my Pro Gear demonstrator KOP for the first time. I remembered you had a video on how to clean the Pilot 823 and was wondering if you might have one for this pen ... sure enough! Cheers!

Thank you! I had some water trapped under the grip section and mine is pretty translucent. It drove me crazy to see that water drop there and I’m so happy to know I can fully disassemble the section during my regular cleaning.

whats the paper?

Try some pen wash

It says taking the nib out voids your warranty I wonder why ?

Be aware that pilot does not recommend unscrewing the nib housing because that can weaken the barrel and cause cracks (a crack in the barrel is not covered by their warranty)

Could you have an Oblique extra fine or oblique fine nib? Would it work. I have a Lamy oblique medium.

I was expecting a Fountain Pen video! LOL! Nevertheless it's good to hear from you again Phillip! And that shooting is really on point! I'm impressed!!!!

Can we use petroleum jelly instead of grease??

This color is impossible to find now

Congratulations, very informative!

Excellent video with very helpful details and demonstration. Thank you!

Hello! Pilot gives a warning message not to open the feed section of the pen…

Looking at this simplicity and comparing it with vacuum fillers like Onoto, one is impressed by the simplicity and effectiveness of Japanese technology, as compared to the "baroqueness" of British solutions. Maybe this is key to their charm. In a way this can be see also when comparing cars and other engineering forms.

Thank you for the video. How has the pen held up with time? I know they can last forever but I always love to hear it.

Wish I had bought the fine. The medium is a gusher...super-wet.

I just wanted to say your L is my T lol

It's sooo smooth that i only hear the breath

Ohhhh it looks so smooth. Love it.

for the threads id use Qtips and rubbing alcohol, or just water. if still stubborn, try a little bit of bleach then wash it out

Do you find it to be scratchy? F nib would suit my handwriting style more, but people rave about how smooth the M nibs are.

What is the wrench you used and where can it be purchased?

Dynamic penmanship!

The section/barrel threads and the section/nib unit threads open in the same direction. That's stupid. You really need to get the section/nib unit threads tight or you might be in trouble.

I can't seem to find the plastic oring from the inside of the section. Does this exist on all 823s? Had flushed the pen and now it won't take up any nib.

THANK YOU! Prior to this, I’d seen it mentioned that the entire nib housing could be removed intact, but no one ever provided details as to how. Conventional wisdom is that these are simply friction fit, but I was just able to swap the nibs housings from two pens using this method!

Are you sure that pen is a real 823? Thanks for the video, just pen was missing key elements of normal 823.

I love the proportions on the kingsize but the availability of different #8 nibs is bleak in the current market. Btw I've only seen 1 reviewer mention the demonstrator picking up micro scratches, how are yours holding up?

I just hate the sweet spot. Moment my wrist rotates I lose the smoothness.

Where in the world did you get a demo pilot 823

Nice handwriting

Ugh, I’m so paranoid about cleaning this pen. I’m afraid I’m going to break something. To avoid having to do it for as long as possible, I’ve only used one ink in it, which I’m fine with....but I know I’m going to have to clean it eventually.

Dear sir, very nice video. I have a question, I bought an as new 149 wit fine nib. it is 14 k and from 1991. It features an ebonite feed! I find it not smooth, rather scratchy. I find this almost unbelievable for such an expensive fountain pen. I see in the video that your 149 writes very well. What could be the issue with mine? Thanks alot for your advice. best regards from Belgium. Krist
