Re: An "Accurate" pen review
I felt your appraisal was inaccurate....just kidding. Thank you for posting. :)
Re: An "Accurate" pen review
Nice work on the nib tine alignment. The two duofold nibs I have are pretty nice. I think that's a handsome looking pen too.
Re: An "Accurate" pen review
Very nice review. Thank you for sharing.
Re: An "Accurate" pen review
The key here is that you've taken the first step into nib tuning (that includes smoothing). By doing this, you have moved beyond the total reliance on vendors to make you happy, which sometimes is tricky due to the personal preference factor.
Notice that I am not saying that sellers (vendors) are off-the-hook from going above and beyond to make buyers happy.
I always tell people that part of owning a fountain pen, is the tuning, just like any other instruments like guitar, violin, knife, etc.
So, congrats.
Re: An "Accurate" pen review
Thanks, Will. I'm not completely comfortable with nib tuning yet of course, but a step in the right direction. Now to go look for an actual ebonite pen.

Was flushing the pen and I think I was being a bit vigorous with the lever, and now I think the pressure bar may have become dislodged.
Can I have some suggestions of who to send it to for repair please? (It's probably a bit too delicate for my skills).

I had one J bar break from having rusted over time on an Esterbrook. While I hope this is not your case, I am curious of Anderson pens might have a replacement. If so, replacement is an easy process with a pair of long nose tweezers.
Re: An "Accurate" pen review
Certainly in principle the adjustment is straightforward, it's just that I am a bit cack-handed and don't want to damage the section while removing it.
Re: An "Accurate" pen review
No one? That's disappointing.
