Replacement M Nib For Lamy 2000

[Cabrito]

Hello,

 

I dropped my Lamy 2000 and rearranged the nib. The last time this happened (yes, I've done it before), I sent the pen to a Lamy repair center in Coppell, TX and was pleased with the result. But now it appears that service is no longer available. I can't find a Lamy service center in the US (I've written to the company and received an auto-reply in German).

 

I watched a video on YouTube that made it seem like replacing a nib on this pen is something even I might manage. But I can't find a source for nibs (it's an M) for the Lamy 2000.

 

Can anyone help with advice on where to send the pen (I live in Austin, TX...no dealers here, it seems), or where to buy a replacement nib (if doing the replacement myself is really advisable)?

 

I really like this pen, so I'd like to get it back in service.

 

Thanks.

It's good you can get it repaired. The cost I have seen for Lamy 2000 nibs is just about the same as buying a new 2000. I had thought about just changing out the nib on a F model but instead sold it and bought the B I wanted instead.

You're pretty close to right. They quoted $120+ for the new nib, plus shipping, etc. They do toss in a free check up and service on the pen. I haven't shopped around extensively, but I've seen new Lamy 2000's for around $170. I've come across good reviews of the work done by this Bob Nurin guy, and I liked him when we spoke on the phone.

 

It's probably silly to be attached to a particular pen, but I am, so I'm going to go the replacement route.

I paid $129 with free shipping from Germany from missing-pen.de.

You will find that Rolf Thiel has a good rep here. He is not always the best price but normally is.
