EPISODE 7: MY $30 OMAS

At the 2023 St. Louis Pen Show, I acquired a celluloid Omas Bologna fountain pen for $30. At that price, I was not surprised that the internal parts of the pen were damaged. After sourcing the replacement parts, I was ready to try my hand at fixing what is actually a very expensive fountain pen. Inspired by @tested videos, I take you through the steps to disassemble and re-assemble the pen, and some problems I was forced to solve along the way. 00:00 Intro 00:54 How I Purchased a $30 Omas 3:35 Parts of the Pen 6:59 Disassembling the Pen 11:52 Re-assmbling the Pen 25:25 A Problem Needs to be Solved 38:01 Problem Solved 42:21 All About the Omas Bologna Red Scarlet Celluloid 46:25 Writing with the Pen 50:49 Final Thoughts and Outro Thank you to ‪@Yoseka‬ ‪@appelboompennen‬ ‪@stiloestile04‬ and ‪@CBSNewYork‬ Footage from ‪@CBSNewYork‬ is as seen in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy2jOghaAr0 _______________________________________________________________________ Uncapped is created by Joshua Lax, proprietor of the J.J.
