Pen Warmers

ITEM 44073:  PEN DISASSEMBLY HEATER. 

THIS UNIT WILL FACILITATE THE TEAR-DOWN OF NEW AND VINTAGE PENS BY SOFTENING UP ADHESIVES, GUNKED-UP THREADS, PARKER JEWELS & SCREWED IN BUSHINGS, AND JUST PLAIN STUCK TOGETHER BRITTLE ITEMS WHILE GREATLY DIMINISHING THE CHANCES OF BREAKAGE OF YOUR FRAGILE ANTIQUE PENS.  DON’T USE A HEAT GUN, WHATEVER YOU DO;  THE TEMPERATURES PRODUCED BY HEAT GUNS CAN VERY QUICKLY INITIATE A STRONG FLAMABLE REACTION IN CELLULOSE NITRATE, OF WHICH MANY VINTAGE PENS ARE COMPOSED.  HEAT GUNS CAN ALSO FLAT-OUT MELT OTHER PLASTICS.  AND DON’T SMACK YOUR THREADED SECTIONS SHARPLY ON THE EDGE OF A COUNTER LIKE THE OLD PEN REPAIR MANUALS TELL YOU TO.  NOTHING WILL DESTROY A PEN’S VALUE FASTER THAN THAT.  THIS IS ABOUT 90 YEARS AFTER THOSE INSTRUCTIONS WERE WRITTEN.  THIS UNIT PROVIDES A FAST MOVING STREAM OF AIR NO HIGHER THAN 200 DEGREES F, WHICH IS ADEQUATE FOR ALMOST EVERY FOUNTAIN PEN DISASSEMBLY OPERATION.  AFTER 5 YEARS OF USING, DEMONSTRATING AND SELLING THESE UNITS, I FIND THE BEST WAY TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE OF THE PIECE YOU ARE WORKING ON IS TO LEAVE THE TEMP CONTROL ALL THE WAY UP AND VARY THE DISTANCE FROM THE HEAT PORT AND THE TIME THE PEN IS IN THE WARM AIR STEAM PRODUCED BY THIS UNIT WHILE KEEPING THE PIECE ROTATING.  IN ADDITION, IT HAS A VERNIER TEMPERATURE CONTROL IF YOU WANT IT COOLER.  ALWAYS KEEP THE PIECE MOVING AND KEEP IT IN YOUR HAND. DON'T WALK AWAY WHILE A PEN IS IN THE WARMER.

ALMOST EVERYONE I’VE SOLD ONE OF THESE TO HAS COME BACK AND TOLD ME HOW MUCH THEY LOVE IT AND HOW MUCH IT HELPS.  THE GUY RUNNING THE CHICAGO PEN SHOW CAME BACK TO MY TABLE A YEAR AFTER BUYING HIS FIRST ONE AND BOUGHT A SECOND UNIT FOR A FRIEND. EVERYONE AGREES THIS UNIT IMPROVED THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE.  THIS RUNS ON 120 VOLTS, 60 CYCLES AC AND USES A STANDARD USA TYPE THREE PRONG GROUNDED PLUG.
