I am about to get our IBM1627 (rebranded Calcomp

pens in the case is quite dry. What is the best method to refurbish
those? What is the best solvent to get the old ink out? What ink to refill
with?
This may not be so easy to do. The original pens that came with my 565 were
pressurized.
It might be possible to use a Fisher Space Pen cartridge. I believe they made
replacements for the Calcomp.
