DIY nib repair info request


LizWrites

Recommended Posts

Hi all. My Parker 75 rolled off the desk and hit the floor nib first. The tines were a bit bent and overlapped. I was able to alter that but the tip is still bent under slightly and the tines now have a bit of space between them. Ink no longer flows normally and when I get it to, I have to write holding the pen with nib upside down. Aargh! Beautiful silky writer since I got it back in the 1990s. Is there reliable info out there that may help me repair it myself? Or should I send for repair? Can anyone recommend a reputable repair source? I came across this site (link at end) and wondered if anyone knows anything about them. I'm on the east coast and they're out west but if they can do the job . . . . Thanks for any help! https://pentiques.com/how-to-send-your-pens-for-repair/

I hear your pain!  A newish Parker 75 that I dropped nib down onto a concrete floor was the first nib straightening that I did. ...something like 30 years ago.
