Any Info on this..

[skinmech]

I seen this machine on a few times, and wonder if anyone has had any experience with it....I think it looks like a real hard hitter, and certainly interests me..http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/rotary-tattoo-machine-/130644744798?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Tattoos_BodyArt_S M&hash=item1e6b089a5e#ht_500wt_1413 Any info appreciated, my only concern is the gap between spring saddle and abar appears to be quite small, but I assume the spring is just there to dampen the hit.....P.

Can't hurt to try. But yeah the abar looks damn low.

[Mr.Taboo]

Send the seller a message and ask what the stroke length is.

[skinmech]

I have asked a few questions in the past,but, there is a language barrier.....

[nivek]

Then I would suggest you look elsewhere. If you can't communicate now, what are you going to do if there is a problem ?

[skinmech]

Yep good point nivek....I am pretty sure this is a generic pic, as he has more than one for sale...Just wondering if anyone has any of the other builds in the link..P

[bluerocker]

i too have been keepin an eye on this machine guys, looks really nice, with gap between the motor housing and the bottom of the a-bar...yeah it does look a lil on the small side, but then its not a real true side on pic of the machine, so maybe a lil bigger? the only other thing that would concern me slightly, is the thickness of the tube vice, i like a vice to really grip the stem, and a had trouble with machines mainly coils, having just a lil bit of play cos the vice wasnt thick enough to really grip it, but it does look nice ha

[wildboy]

Not sure if the force on this is the same as it is with a coil but I had a Soba Pilot liner with a small gap between the abar and the back spring saddle and it broke every 2 weeks.

[skinmech]

Yep a small or tight gap can sometimes cause springs to snap on a regular basis, I think it would be the same for Coils and Rotaries alike that use an abar system...Maybe even more of a problem for Rotaries as the tend to run faster/harder with a lot less give than a Coil....

oldschooltattoomachines.com but I can't find that machine in the gallery at all.

[skinmech]

LOL...Very strange, even the link doesn't work, it opens up on the Dano Collins site...Link was ok last time, and you could see the machine quite easily...If I remember it was in Portuguese, but you could translate it...Think I will steer clear..P

Yep thats the pic...Throw still seems pretty tight...

[OwlsDen]

I'd stay away from that... maybe it's just a bad pic but that looks a little unfinished. Also unless is pushes the bar up instead of pull it down, that looks like maybe 1.5mm throw.
