Hey merky is it a rca or the smaller phono plug(looks like that one) like the original neo tats had?
Also the one in the video looks totally different then the computer rendering -do you have a working proto of how the actual ones for sale are going to look(post pics or new video)?
hey slick the videos where just me using a rough prototype that i put together with stuff i had laying around and seeing if the gears system could fit into a small tube..for right now im going to use rca because i have the quick plug release it disconects from the motor. progress pic will be posted asap.. thanks slick
Looking forward to those pictures, and when you get it build, pictures of my machine... he he... hope I made the deposit payment as one of the first people and get one of the first machines :D

Bring it, bring it, bring it :)
Just got an email from you stating that you had accepted the deposit and that I am in line for your machine, NICE :)
hey merky are you also going to sell extra front sleeves/grips so we can have a few sterile ones on hand?
I sure will,im going to do different style grips some will be smooth so you can slip your grip covers faster.Quote:

The hawk tips are what is recommended for this machine, its mentioned earlier I believe.Quote:

i've been using rotaries exclusively, mostly swashdrive, for almost 2 years and wish i had done it waaaaay sooner. i've spent alot of time learning coil machine principles and even built a few that i was very proud of but rotarys imo can be just as good at the job with way less hassle, so i'm a solid roto-convert.
anyhow i just placed my deposit for a marksman, suspecting that it'll make a great liner.
now to save up for a centri, a treasurechest, a dragonfly, and a whip. to start at least;)
thank you sage oz for the pre_ order, I have been working hard at making sure i get these before x-mas, so it is going to be non stop work ... i almost have the first run of 50 spoken for with like 8 left ,thanks again guys

http://www.marksmantattoo.com/ Thank you guys they are coming to gether fast. machines should be sent out on 14th .
Best of luck to you in the new year with this! :)
Just watched the E.T. vid the machine seems pretty loud? It also has like a rattleing noise to it or ist the just the quality of the vid?
It sounds like my american eagle direct drive when i use the t-tech setup-it has a gearboxto so it is most likely its the gears you are hearing interacting with the plunger-but the final one prob wont be to loud as meky is putting a sound damper/shield on them and everthing is going to be more precision made.Quote:

wildboy this is the rough prototype aka the flash light head,lol, you can see some super lube in the video on the tip but all the gears are the same on the real one i will a get video up asp of the real machine running .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuMzH...ature=youtu.be

thats awesome..... reminds me of a space pen. that machine alone makes me want to switch over to t-tech systems.
Hy Bud I'm not a big paypal'er. Is there another way to pay you? I can make the payment in full if that helps... Pm me if need be. Thanks!
they say that the t-tech system tips suck on these machines. It is recommended to use the hawk tips. Hope that helps.Quote:

for whatever reason i wouldnt have touched a hawk with a 10 foot pole but im thinking about your machine!
wildboy thank you, I take that as huge compliment. I loved my hawk but it is still awkard to handle and it self adjusts on me all the time, the marksman is more like a paint brush type feel in the hand.
Very impressive looking piece of machinery!
looks like monday im shiping machines out...........wooooooooot http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c1...IMAG0709-1.jpg got some small stuff to do still ...super happy ,there is 14 left .
