Nib wobble worries!

[Chris]

I have a Century Classic with a fine nib and I wondered why it seemed to have a certain lack of precision when being used. Then I discovered that the nib and feed are loose and actually move up and down together in the section. It is not a lot of wobble, but it is noticeable and certainly affects writing.

 

Is this something I can fix myself? And if so, how should I do it (I am not too clumsy with delicate things)?

 

Or should I return it to Cross (I'm in the UK)?

 

Thanks for any advice.

Chris, I had a Classic Century that developed the same problem. The nib and feed actually became so loose that it rotated 180 degrees in the section.

 

I was very sad to see the pen go, but Cross replaced it free of charge with a Classic Century II.

Thanks Russ. I'll return it to Cross.

 

This is the first Cross product that has had any problem for me (apart from a convertor simply wearing out from use!) and I've been a loyal Cross fan for thirty years now.
