| Bill Triplett | "The Sheaffer Balance arrived safely - I just was able to ink it today. I really like you guy's work. It looks great - are you sure it's the same pen? Very, very nice. | |

Specialty pen restoration |
Even in a field rich with people of high standards and integrity, Ron Zorn stands out. Doing top-quality work is just the beginning; Ron's honesty, efficiency, and respect for his customers are the characteristics that place him in the top rank of professional fountain pen restorers, and I do not bestow such praise lightly. | |
| Tom Levien | Box was waiting for me when I got back from Chicago. Good show. I don't have as much fun as David, but my lows probably aren't as low either. David was right about the Camel. You did an incredible job restoring it! Thank you! The other ones are great too. | |
| Paul Gilster | Let me second David's use of the term 'par excellence' in regard to Ron's work. I learned about Ron from David at last year's pen show here in Raleigh, and I've had him restore several pens for me. His work is impeccable, and what I appreciate the most is that he is attentive to historical detail. He clearly loves what's he's doing and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the field. Highly recommended. | |
| LS | I got the pens today and the restorations look excellent. Thank you for the excellent work. They all fill as they should now. Outstanding turnaround time, too! | |
| LMB | PS--I love the Brown vac with the fine flexible nib--it has become one of my daily users. The function of the others has remarkably improved. Thank you so much. | |
| KB | Thanks for the help, the timely responses and the patience with a new guy. If it's ok I might send along a couple others to fix up. | |

By far the highlight of the show,
[Washington] though, was the magic performed by Ron Zorn, who was set
up to do on-the-spot repairs Friday and Saturday.Poor Ron never really
got a chance to see the show, but did a mess of repairs for me,
including some really tricky stuff - a couple of sacs where the
sections were nearly fused to the barrels or the rotting sac had
destroyed the pressure bar inside the barrel, and some 51s with tricky
hood alignment issues, as well as a flow adjustment on a mis-performing
Vac Maxima. By far the most magical work he did, though, was on the 51
demonstrator.
By the time he resacced it and reassembled it, it was so crystal clear that, although I bought it as a user, I suspect I'm going to have to buy another one for that purpose - this one went from stained to factory fresh in Ron's hands. And, anyone who fears for the future of hobby should have seen Ron's sons discussing the intricacies of various pens and angling for more allowance so that they could acquire another pen or two! |

The Swan arrived yesterday. It
writes like a champ now. A wonderful wet flow, and it started right up
this morning after sitting all night in the pen cup. It's working
exactly as it should.
Many thanks for a job well done. |

| Phil W. | (quoted in full) This blows me away, and best of all it works like a charm! Thanks Ron! | |
