Hi Guys,

 

I once had my Sailor Pro Gear repaired at nibs.com and was very pleased with their repair; however, they are no longer open for mail in repairs for pens not purchased from them! So, I'm left wondering who the hell to send my very expensive pen to for repair!

 

Any ideas of a reputable repair person, preferably someone that can repair pro-gear nibs?

 

Best,

-- Alex

Ron Zorn at Main Street Pens. He is an excellent pensmith and has had a great reputation here on FPN for many years. He is a regular contributor under the member name Ron Z. I have two Scheaffer's vacs heading to him in a day or two. BTW, he is also the moderator of this Repair Forum.

Thanks! I have an Omas pen that has a leaky nib, and I was looking for a recommendation. I will probably give Ron a try, but his 16 week wait time is a challenge.

Many well-known pen repair folks have long wait times. I have had great results with Ron and also recommend Mike and Linda Kennedy at Indy-Pen-Dance. If you want to avoid the long wait, you can catch Ron or the Kennedys (and others) at a pen show and sign up early.

His website www.mainstreetpens.com is unaccesible. May be a temporary thing.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
