should have my one off john clark rotary around wed of next week . it looks sweet as honey. i'll get some pics on here when its in my hands. cant count the chicken before they hatch you know. on a side note ,i got a blitz in today. pretty sweet too but different than my swashes im used to.
John from Blitz did make a very nice workhorse of a machine.
i posted the pics on facebook of the machine. do you have to upload to another site to post here??
Fixed it for ya. To attach an image link from facebook you need to use the location of the image not the page its on. Facebook and Tumblr can be a pain for this. You can also attach images directly, there are instructions in the getting started area of the site. Its not super simple but when you see how it works it really is in the end. Blame the people who programed vBulletin the platform the forum runs on.
Oh and forgot to say, holy crap that is nice!
ok i'll get it figured out im sure. thanks for fixn it. im stoked to see the machine in person. if anyone ever calls him up , tell'em mike ray sent ya lol
wow that thing is nutsQuote:

There are some youtube videos of these running as well as the entire drive train explained. If you search "john clark" you should see a few videos with him running them and explaining them.
does anyone know if john made a decision on which version he was going to put into production?..I think in one video he says he has 8 prototypes he took to the philly show but wasn't sure yet which he was going to put into production..
I wonder if the usual folks that currently distribute his forward coil machines will also pick these up if they go into production.
as far as the last i talked to him, kingpin will carry the production model, which is like mine jus styling is different. he said he hasnt locked one down yet but he was leaning towards the one i posted. but its been a week or 2 since i talked to'em. im pretty sure it will be later in the year as my 2 new ones ,i cant get till after april.
So I just talked to John Yesterday, my forward coil broke it's rear spring and i did'nt have a spare so john told me to send it in, and then we got to talking about the rotaries, and i have ( well had just shipped it today) a painting of my forward coil john wanted. So we worked out a trade and i will be getting on of his new rotaries in two weeks. Very Excited, Wanted to know Ray how you like it so far.http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._1160962_n.jpg
it appears to be cam and rocker.
I really love the thing. It's soft in the hit. I tightened up the springs a lil and got a firmer hit out of it but still soft. I've used 7 mag and 9 mags in it for color and b&g and it ran well. It's quite a bit different in the way it runs i think. Personally , I think bigger mags would run in it but it's gonna be supa soft. I love it with a 7 mag , and not to mention its one hell of a looker. If for some reason you jus hate it get with me and I'll take it off your hands,lol.
Nice Thanks Ray, I'm Sure I'll love it, but thanks for the offer. That just tells me how much you love yours
yep i do love it. it's one of the coolest machines i've ever owned. like i said ,if yours is set up like mine it will be a nice soft hitter. great for soft blk and grey . good luck with it and if you talk to john tell'em mike ray from n.c. says howdy. i havent been able to call'em lately
Will do man
wowowowow....drool......
hey Mike i just got off the phone with john, he said you wanted another machine but he forgot what you wanted, maybe you should give him a call.
How do u find what he has for sale? My co worker wants one. But his site only shows past machines?
have him email john
cool thanks
Been mailing a little with John that i want to order a rotary. But he dont answer, maybe he is busy building. Seems like he has much to do...
I dont know if he's ready for sale yet he is still waiting for the motors for the batch of 8 he is working on now
okey, yes he wrote that he was runnig a little behind with them because of the motors. hope i get one soon, they look awesome!
thx sofa, i jus had back surgery so if ya talk to em tellem i'll be in touch. between tornados and surgery i'll never tattoo again? hmmm
anyone know how things goin' for john with the rotary's? havent heard anything in like 2 weeks from him... if im even is one of the lucky ones that is getting on of them hes gonna build
