Adjustable Nib-Where Can I Buy The Slider?

[BOOGIT]

I have an opportunity to buy a Doric with an Adjustable nib but the slider for the nib is missing

Any idea where I can buy one ? All info greatly appreciated

That might be tough since an adjustable nib with even a broken tip is worth retipping rather than junking it for the slider. I'd make sure the price is what you are comfortable with as is.

Can I use an Adjusttable WITHOUT THE slider?

The slider, at least in theory, makes the nib less flexible. Without a slider it will be a max flex. Try it first, and if you are ok with that, you have an adjustable nib stuck in a fixed position.

Even if you purchased a slider on a damaged nib, you would be hard pressed to transfer it to the good nib without the tabs breaking off or cracking it.

I would refrain from using the nib sans slider.

Keith, I would use this thread as ammo to send a link to your seller and get the pen for about 1/2 what the current price is.

 

Then stick it in your parts box. A replacement nib from another pen damaged in another area may come around some day.
