I fixed my Namiki Vanishing Point tonight and I’m very very happy now. I love this pen. I guess I had been futzing with it or something, and I took it apart while the nib was extended (several years ago – duh!). This is bad. Screw it back together and it didn’t work. I thought a spring popped out. What I think happened is that the little trap door that covers the nip opening (when retracted) was in the wrong position. I jiggled it until I got it back into the open position, reassembled it, and everything is wonderful. So, in case you’ve got a curiously busted Namiki lying around, go fiddle some more, it might just come together.
