Can anyone recommend a place where I can take my MB 149 and 146 nibs for tuning in the Collegeville, PA area? Nothing major just that these pens are old and might need some TLC. Preferrably a place where they do it onsite so I don't have to wait weeks to get them back.

Nib specialists aren't in every town. The closest I can think of is in Ephrata. I suggest you mail them to Tim Girdler in Falling Waters WV for quick turnaround.

 

Even better, go to the Baltimore Pen Show next weekend and have it done while you wait, and you can test it.

Tim has had one of my pens since last April. I haven't heard anything from him.

That can't be because he's busy. I've only used him at shows, and he told me he can get stuff out quickly if I wanted to send something.

 

When you phoned him, what was his reason? (Maybe this is hijacking the OP's thread....)

Tim has had two of my pens for well over six months. And three weeks since payment with neither the pens nor a word.

This sucks. Based upon his demeanor at pen shows, I was going to send more work his way, but instead I'll wait to see what develops. His website lists a phone number with a disclaimer that indicates he'll probably not answer. :unsure:

Based on my experience with him, I'd recommend sending them to someone else. Mike Masuyama does nice work. Pendleton Brown does as well, and he offers expedited processing (for a modest fee) and can have your pen back to you in a week or less.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
