one of my coworkers just got a rotary machine from a reputable builder (i won't mention their name yet, we wrote to them about this) and was tattooing a customer. He runs a hurricane power supply and outlined the tattoo with his coil machine. he then switched to this new rotary to color. the machine ran a bit then it started to slow down, then stopped altogether. The meters on the hurricane all read zero. he switched back to his coil machine and it wouldn't work either. he then switched to his backup power supply (another cheapy with just a voltmeter), hooked up his coil machine...no problem...

he then hooked up his rotary machine and it did the exact same thing it did to last supply, slowed down then stopped (the voltmeter again went to zero) and when he hooked his coil back up, it didn't work...


The really strange thing is, I have the same machine and I let him use it awhile back to see if he would like it and mine ran with no problems on his hurricane (thats why he bought the same machine). I also have another co worker who uses the hurricane and has the same machine. his runs perfectly on the hurricane...Also, the guy who is having problems used the machine just the day before without any problems..

Is this a capasitor problem with his machine or is it something else?
