Hi, new here

[Linegear Japan]

I currently live in Hong Kong, i was thinking it was the high humidity here that has made the nosebridge rubber deteriorate quickly, but realise I've had these for 19 years....

I didn't realise these had become collectibles, and due to reading the x-metal forums, i'm keen to look for my box and coin when i next go back to visit my folks in Aus.

Thanks for the heads up on people here doing tune ups, have been reading a lot in the last few days, i probably need more than just a nose bridge tune up, frames look in decent nick, but the lenses are delaminating, so need new lenses as well....

New lenses, tune up, new rubbers, will cost me more than my new Flak's but i'm sure it will be worth it

There is a highly trustworthy company in Japan that makes lenses and rubbers etc call Linegear. I think they may even be able to do the tune up for you as well.

They are a forum sponsor here and make great products.

@Linegear Japan is their name and Boss Diasuke usually checks in and responds to messages too.

Thank you TRUMP for syaing that

Thanks Daisuke

Have been checking out your website for parts, just considering if i send it in for professional tune up, or buy the pin pusher and parts.

Cheers
Rod

Hi

I've never tried, but I've seen many marred and damaged bridges from a slip or a forced attempt gone wrong. You nailed it though @Linegear Japan has the best nosepads/hinge rubbers and pin pusher from what I've seen.

i probably will, how often do they require servicing? i know time will vary, but from memory my originals lasted a while, but my serviced ones didn't.
