Peter Twydle
Secretly Famous
The
Wizard's
Workshop
The
idea for 'The Pen Wizard' came from the frequency with which people send me pens
for repair with the message 'Can you work your magic on this one?' The fact is -
I have in my workshop what is probably the largest collection of spare parts for
pens, pencils, rollerballs and ballpoints anywhere in the world, particularly
for post-war pens in which I specialise. Keep in mind though, that I am not
infallible (not all spells work). Some repairs may need parts which, despite my
extensive stocks, I simply do not have. In these cases I can often refer you to
another restorer who specialises in your particular model.
My basic charge for
handling any writing instrument is £20 (£25 for more complicated pens such as
Sheaffer Snorkel, Touchdown or Onoto. Postage plus any
parts that need replacing will, of course, add to the price. It is simply not
possible to quote, evaluate or comment further on a pen without seeing it. After
examination I will e-mail you the quote. Should you decide not to proceed, I
will return the pen - no charge - so you have nothing to lose. My turnaround
time at the moment is approximately 10 working days.
I guarantee all repairs
for the original fault for three months from the date you receive
them back.
I recommend you wrap your pen in bubble
wrap and send in a Jiffy or Mail-Lite bag by Recorded or Special Delivery or
internationally by some form of registered mail. Please send the complete pen
and not just the part you think needs repairing. Post to:
