Inked both the 159 and X159 up with Noodlers Heart of Darkness. Both write wonderfully. Must admit though I like the weight if the older 159, just feels better in my hand.
 
After using it for a few days, the one issue I have with the x159 is the 3 full rotations it takes to remove the lid. Not a huge deal, but seems to take forever to get the cap off sometimes.
 
Keep us up to date with your efforts there. Depending on its age and type of fill system it might be very delicate.
BH, you are such a bad influence, lol. Cruising Ebay yesterday for pipes and an ad popped up for the Jinhao. Couldn't believe it, but I got the black and silver for $8.50 with shipping and tax. Does it use regular bottle ink? Or are the cartridges better?

It should come with a converter to use bottle ink (at least mine did). Otherwise it can also take standard cartridges.
 
Yeah. I’m in on this too. Just ordered mine from electronic bay. Does anyone want to recommend some ink(s) so I can get started? I’ve got a couple weeks til it gets here
 
Did someone say INKS? Oh goody. So what use will you put your pen & ink to? Does it need to be bullet proof (actual ink terminology)? Do you like/want colored ink? If so, how wild? Etc.
 
Muhaahaaahaaaaa! The irresistible JinHao X159!!! New colors!!! Read ‘em and weep. See ‘em on ETSY. $12.50 (or so).

Did not need a fountain pen but when I saw these on ebay for $6 I couldn't resist. Have the black and silver coming. $8.50 with tax and shipping. Colored ones were $8.
