OK, I'll run that test. Will my local FP store be able to get me a
converter, or is that a specialty item?

Your local fountain pen store should have one on hand. If not, you can
order one from almost any on-line pen dealer. Popping a cartridge in
there is an inexpensive, easy way to rule-out a problem with the
converter.

So, has your pen always written this way or did it develop the problem
over time? --- Bernadette
