Montblanc Noblesse Oblige Feeder Change


Lawrizze

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I managed to ruin the feeder on one of my favorite Montblanc pens.

 

It is similar to this one:

1) I have no experience in repairing pens. Would changing the feeder be a doable task for me?

 

2) What tools to I need? I can only find 146/149 - series remover tools on eBay. This is a 522 nib.

 

Thanks a load in advance!

I'm sorry I can't help, but would be interested to know as well.

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

Yes, it's a do-able task, but there are two major obstacles to overcome:

 

1: Because the feed had a nipple to pierce the cartridge, you may need a special tool to knock it out, without harming the nipple. (However, if the feed you are removing is already broken, it may not matter if you just knock it out with a standard punch. The new feed is pushed into place without tools)

 

2: The biggest obstacle will be finding a replacement feed. You may be better off scouring the auction sites and classifieds for an old Noblesse being sold for parts. Other feeds may fit, but that would be a case of trial and error, until you find a suitable size.

 

Hope you can get it fixed. They're great pens.

Good luck.

So, it is friction set, isn't it?

 

I thought that it was more complicated, kinda like in the meisterstuck where you need -AFAIK- special tools.

Yes. Ideally I'd always use the tool to remove the feed case in Meisterstucks. But, nibs and feeds are friction fit int the feed=case - sometimes, they can be pulled and replaced without removing the feed case.

 

This what I was suggesting the OP examine, if the feed is already trashed.

 

It's been a while since I had a Noblesse - But, as far as I can recall, the feed and nib will come out with a knockout block. I had a hollow punch which accommodated the cartrige piercing nipple. There may be a feed-case, screwed into the section, but it seems nibs and feeds can be removed without removing this.

 

As I say, I'm going from memory here. If other members have more concrete advice, I'm sure they'll chip in.

 

Thanks.

the nib / feed is friction fit

 

can be taken oiut with firm pressure between thumb pulp on nib and the knuckle of index finger on feed

 

but hat is the easier part - finding a replacement would be the real challenge

Enjoy your pens

Have a nice day

      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
