Just bought some Juliet's that need some tuning. This is fun!

Man, starting your metal dive with a R2, that's not kidding around! Take care of those lenses - replacements are discontinued, you can't custom cut them, and 3rd party replacements are no good...

I assume you know that the x-man can take care of your tune up needs with the new Juliets. What colorway did you get?

Here's some advice - if you're about to dive deep into a bunch more x-metals that have rivet-mounted flex couplers (Mars, Juliet, XX, Penny, R2), collect them up then send them to x-man in a batch; you save in shipping and x-man gives bulk discounts (or at least he did; don't know if he still does). Yes, it's scary sending a bunch of expensive frames in the mail (strip the lenses and rubbers first), but the odds are in your favor, more so with a single shipment than a bunch of individual shipments...

Welcome to the forum.

I'll post pictures of the Juliet when I gain a moment.

The X man sounds like a good idea. Thank you!
