Easy and fun to do yourself.
Google: replace fountain pen ink sac
And head over to <http://www.andersonpens.com/pen-sacs-s/1995.htm>
to find your sac.
They?re measured in 64s of an inch.
Most common size #16 = 16/64th of an inch
A sac, some resin, and bit of talc
and you?re good to go for another 70 years

fond regards,

George
