Just acquired an x-mag body....

I see. He says he has some product he can use to cover it so the acid and dye won't touch it- that's what he is going to do to the magnet. I will email him more information on the ground pin- hopefully he will be able to get it out.

or use the same stuff. once you get the battery pack on you wont see that part of the frame so no one would be the wiser.

If I were you, I would not leave the disassembly to the anodizer. Very few people will take the same care you would when handling your gear. I learned that lesson with my last hydro test. An xmag is worth way more than my half spent tank ever was. Don't rush this om3n. Take your time and get it done right the first time. Have you seen any of the anodizer's work?
