Wahl- Eversharp Doric (Airline?) Screw In Nib

[RonLyke]

I have a nice Doric with a #7 screw in nib assembly. Unfortunately, the little slider is missing, so the nib isn't very stable. (It was just serviced by a well known repairman.) The tines aren't supported well enough to write consistently, despite the repairman's best efforts. (He didn't charge me, so no flames, please.) He recommended that I look for a Gold Seal screw in nib. Does anyone have one? (I posted this on the Repair forum as well; I hope that's OK.)

 

Thanks,

Ron

If your wanting to replace the broken slider nib with a non-adjustable gold seal nib, you really only need the loose nib. Of course if you can find an intact screw in nib feed collared assembly this great. The nibb and feed can be knocked out of the threaded collar and new nib and old feed put back in. Just remember 2 things.

 

1. Never try to knock the nib and feed from the bare collar. Always knock it out while the assembly is seated in the section.

 

2. If the pen is a shut-off model never try to knock out the nib and feed until the shut-off return spring has been removed from the collar, then do as in #1.

Syd,

 

Thanks for the info. Sorry i didn't reply sooner. I've been out of touch in rural Alaska.

I'll look for a nib in DC, and maybe talk to you there, as well.
