@nephrops did you repair the nib yourself or did you send it to someone? Nice lineup!

@paradoxmo By myself. A few weeks ago, I used the microscope from the lab to see the nib, and it was one tine misaligned (I felt that by touch but I couldn´t see it). And today tried to aligned it and it worked (I´ve use an magnifiyng glass and the camera from the cellphone to confirm)
No more skipping and scratching.

@nephrops Nicely done! This is one of the most common repairs and it must be nice to know you can do it yourself.

@paradoxmo thank you, but I don't recommend doing this to a Pilot Capless nib, unless if you've acess to a microscope. Otherwise it's going to be complicated.

@nephrops a good jewelry loupe should also do the trick. Regular magnifier or camera lens probably won’t cut it.
