Cleaned the last of the pens today that were empty (or nearly so) and one of them had a cracked nib unit housing. The section was fine, thankfully. The feed and nib came right out but it was a PITA getting the housing out. Thankfully it's a Jowo #6 so easy to find a replacement. I tried all the usual tricks but it wouldn't budge. Ink gummed up all in various broken parts of the housing, practically glued it in. Not even the ultrasonic cleaner helped.
