EnABL-ing MAOP7

I remember those midranges - my friend had Wharfedale speakers with them, I forgot the model, maybe Linton something. Many, many years ago.
I found it! Wharfedale Linton 3XP:

Things I learned during my first attempt:

1. Start with a bigger driver
2. The A5 nib is still too big for smaller work
3. Don't buy the paint from Wal-Mart (if you do, maybe thin it down)

58 years ago I got my first chisel-edged nib at my new school. they taught "italic" handwriting.

since then I've bought and used lots of these... for handwriting, which generally requires smaller widths on the order of 1mm, and for lettering which uses broader tips like those manufactured by Speedball.

my first pens were by Osmiroid but later "dip" nibs were by E.S. Perry and Mitchell.

I haven't bought these in a long time (arthritis had a say in that) so I don't know if they are still available or not.

on the other hand there are books available that describe how to cut your own chisel nib pens from a feather. Edward Johnson provided particularly clear instructions. ;-)
