Another fountain pen thread

KeithAM,
What's the name of the fourth Parker pen from the right, first fountain pen set picture? I recently inherited 2 pens exactly like that from my grandpa; one was gold-bodied, and the other one is silver. Still writes, but needs attention.
BTW, where's a reputable place (online or B&M) that repairs pens like mine?

It looks like a Parker 75.

Sort of -- it's a Junior, so it's not worth as much as a senior. Still, it's in very nice shape -- no cracks.

THE go to guys are www.richardspens.com Richard Binder or Ron Zorn www.mainstreetpens.com
Longer wait times, though
www.pentiques.com will take care of it too.
What's wrong with it? Since the Parker 75 is a cartridge converter pen, there isn't much to go wrong, minus the nib itself (and the fact that you can rotate it to adjust to your handwriting)
On one of the pens, the threading that connects the nib+cartridge to the barrel isn't mating properly anymore. No problem at all with writing performance. Overall the pens are just old. I'd rather not have them polished though, that "vintage" look is very charming.
