Well, I had a new one today.
I wanted to use a black Transitional that had a 2442 nib in it for a particular ink, but I wanted to do a thorough cleaning. I went to unscrew the nib. Wouldn't budge. At all. Worked at it a bit, nothing. Soaked it overnight. Nada. Took it for a spin in the ultrasonic cleaner.
I was carefully trying to unthread the nib from the section, and it started to turn, and then before I knew it I had the feed and the nib in my hand - not broken, mind you - and the collar still stuck in the section. Honestly, I don't have a clue as to what I'll do at this point, Which, for me, always means to clean it up, dry it off, and put it in a little bag with a note as to what state it's in, and come back to it later.
Pretty neat to see just the nib and the feed in my hand, though!
