That link works for tx, here’s a better link for cherry clip ins. TX is SUPER easy to tune. Some lube on the wire and you’re done. Maybe some on the housing if you notice a scratchy sound coming from them, or if you just don’t wanna risk it and deal with disassembling to reach them. Cherry clip ins require the usual balancing, lubing ordeal.

This is part of why I have gone with pre-builts mostly ;) Your link has the 2U for $.90/ea, so, $1.80. The 7U (which I need for the space bar) is $1.45, but, out of stock. But let's use the 6.25U as a stand-in. $3.25. Shipping adds another $5.54, estimated delivery Friday, 3/24, for $9.12. If I go Priority Mail, I get 'em Thursday and spend $8.99 for shipping. $12.57 total (with tax). On Amazon, the total is $16.41 and I'll have them before noon tomorrow (4x 2U and 1x 7U, though I only need 2x 2U).

Sounds like I have some quality time to spend with Google ... I have never heard of tuning stabilizers TBH.

If you’ve never tuned stabs you’ve never used good stabs, you’re in for a world of wonder once you use some proper stabs for the first time
