@jwalesch A first glance I thought the cartridge, and the feed and nib were two separate friction fit pieces. Once empty I'll grab a pair of needle nose pliers and attempt to remove the black feed unit from the clear section and eye dropper it.
CDT Tradio Plastic #FountainPen on Travelers Notebook lightweight paper, a great sketching pair but can bleed through. Picked this pen up yesterday for $8 and plan to refill the cartridge.

The WSJ will now be that city paper no one outside of Washington will care about in three years.
I often think back to my years in journalism and how they shaped me as a graphic designer and web developer and still miss it.
