Just got mine in the mail today, they wrapped the motor nice like on the RoteryWorks machines from Dale :)
I will be doing a RCA mod and a modification so that it runs with the T-Tech cartridge system and my custom Aluminium short grips ( half the length of the original T-Tech grip and feather light ) and will be posting pictures at some point :)
The machine runs crazy fast at 3 Volts, I hope the motor is strong, cause it is going to get a full work out next week.....

Mounted the T-Tech system today, tested with my normal setup where I bag the whole machine including the grip and seal it all off with the T-Tech cartridge, and it ran like a dream :)
I also did a quick and dirty RCA mod, it worked, but it is pretty ugly, but it is nice to get rid of the traditional clipcord :)
I will post pictures of the whole setup and different mods, when I have the time.....

I received mine today and like Denner said, the motor was wrapped ala Rotaryworks for a neater finish. I can't help looking at this machine and wondering why they designed the sled the way they did. I think it's a great way of producing a linear machine but why not make the machine slightly longer and then they'd have had room to put the needle pin at the back of the sled and negate the need for cutting needlebars? Am i missing something here? I totally understand the use of a plastic screw in this type of vice as a steel screw could damage the back stems, sort of the same principle as plastic screws being used in standard coil contact screw fixings. Looking forward to using the machine though! :)
