Full Version: cross century II FP leaking

I have a cross century II, M nib, using a convertor with noodler ink. No obvious trauma, but yesterday as I was filling the pen, I noticed that the ink was slowly dripping out from the nib. The convertor does not appear to be the source. Any recommendations? can anyone recommend a repair center in Phoenix?

Possibilities:

1) The pen doesn't like the ink.

2) The converter was not seated in the nipple.

3) The converter has an air leak in the packing near the thumbscrew.

4) A crack in the section (unlikely).

If you bought the pen new, Cross will generally repair or replace at no cost.

Thank you. I'll get in touch with them. Cheers!

Try using another converter or cartridge (if you have one), just to make sure that the pen is the problem.
