Does anyone in the #FountainPen community know how to dismantle a LAMY Z28 converter for cleaning? I found a video on YouTube that supposedly demonstrates this

but my converters look different than theirs. I suspect mine are of an older design. I suspect they're just missing the metal part, but I want to make sure I'm not going to break them by trying this.

This is what all of my converters look like:

It seems they are the same design after all, it's just that the metal ring has some sort of coating on it for some reason. I've gotten the offending converter apart and am running it through the cleaner. We'll see if I can get it back together again afterward.

Fortunately, I have a few converters and don't usually ink up all of my LAMYs at once.

I got it cleaned, dried and put back together without incident. Probably not something I'd want to do on a regular basis, but a good thing to know how to do when necessary.

If the black band doesn't unscrew, it may be glued. Soaking and shaking with it half full of water should get it clean. Pen flush if it's stubborn. DIY flush is a cup of water, a drop of dish detergent, and a few drops of ammonia.
