Wality 69T Nib Way Too Fine

[NORVIN]

I got some Wality 69T pens today. I inked two up: one with Noodler's HoD and the other with Noodler's Bad Blue Heron. Both write way too narrow. I want to install medium nibs instead. Would a Noodler's nib like this one work or do I need something else?

My Ranga (with the same Wality nib) has not returned so I cannot make a firm answer, but I think they are not an identical size. What I can say with more confidence is that my non-flex Noodler's nib (the same as the one you linked to) makes a narrower line compared to the Wality nib.

On the left most nib, it looks like the tipping on the right tine is missing.

It has some paper stuck in it.

Imho just a reflection, the tipping looks fine to me

I came across this review of the 69A which looks just like a Noodler's Neponset to me and the reviewer liked it, but mine doesn't write this well:

He also reviewed the 71JT (slightly bigger and longer than the 69T) and had to use a different #6 nib:

On some of my Walitys I have managed to install nr 6 nibs, but it is a bit of a struggle and you run the risk of it touching the inside of the cap when you close the pen. However you can widen the slit between the tines a little, and polish a little off the tip of the nib, and in this way get a slightly wider line from it.

I just ordered 6 #8 nibs for them from Fountain Pen Revolution.

Those may be too large?

The website I ordered them from says that is the size to use.

Well that's good then - please let us know how it works out once you have them...
