<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 6034261, member: 360&quot;]Well - I don&#039;t know who the hell tried to fix my silver 146 before I bought it - but whoever it was - has no business trying to fix pens! </p><p><br /></p><p>For the past two days the nib on this pen has been exceedingly scratchy, and I could not figure out why. No amount of nib-tweaking and tine-adjustment would improve it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I finally went for invasive surgery and pulled out the nib and feed assembly to check it out. That was when I discovered that someone had pulled this apart previously, had reassembled it incorrectly, and as a result, the nib wasn&#039;t sitting straight on the feed, causing it to misalign and be scratchy as hell!! </p><p><br /></p><p>A slight adjustment of barely a millimeter, and then I screwed everything back together.</p><p><br /></p><p>Result: Perfection! </p><p><br /></p><p>If I hadn&#039;t bothered to try adjusting the feed, I would never have found this out. And normally I wouldn&#039;t have bothered going this far, but when a pen costs you $1,000+, you expect it to work flawlessly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
