I have visited the Fountain pen hospital many times. I usually visit NY once a year and often visit the FP hospital. Like someone already said, you will be like a kid in a candy store. They not only have new pens but A selection of old pens. Its not a huge selection but I have found a few nice things.
I'm wondering if anyone here has had experience with the Fountain Pen Hospital in NYC, specifically with repair/restoration. I've got a lovely Camel pen that my wife gave to me as a wedding gift almost 20 years ago. If you're unfamiliar with Camels, they were only in business for a few years...

For the past 17 or so years, I've taken all of my repairs to: Fred P. Krinke The Fountain Pen Shop, Inc. 2640 South Myrtle Avenue, Unit 12 Monrovia, CA 91016 626-294-9974 [email protected] I believe it's the oldest continuously operating pen shop in the US and Fred is the third generation of the same family to work there.
My father-in-law gave me a set of Montblanc Slimline pens and pencil that he's had for many years. There's a mechanical pencil, ballpoint pen and a fountain pen. The tip of the nib seems to be bent a tiny bit and it writes a bit erratically. I'd like to get it cleaned up and adjusted. Any...
