[fatcashdaddy]

thanks otto. that helps alot. I will be tinkering with it today...

ok, I spent the day and when i say spent the day, I mean it took me all of 10 minutes to figure this out..first, my coworkers supply bit the dust on him (it was a cyclone 360 not a hurricane, sorry). his backup supply, which he said also broke down, didn't. it was working just fine, it just wouldn't run the rotary. second, his clipcord was bad. third, he had 3 tight rubberbands on the machine and was running it way too high (to compensate for the extra rubberbands). he said he did that because the day before he broke a rubberband on the machine and he didn't want it to happen again (D'OH!)...

I ran the machine on my custom supply...no problems... ran it on the talens supply...no problem...I have a real cheap supply I use to test my footswitches with, I ran it with that...not only didn't I have any problems but the machine ran best on this supply....ran it on another coworkers old eikon 200...ran like shit...ran it on another coworkers technical power supply...no problems...

dale, i didn't post that it was your machine because I had a feeling it was my knucklehead co-worker and not your machine. I was afraid if I posted it was a rotaryworks some would mistakenly think it was a machine issue and I didn't want any bad reviews to come back on you unneccessarily. And I was right, it was my co-worker and not the machine. I tattooed him with it today and used an 18 needle liner in the machine and it performed flawlessly...

Alie, thats exactly what i did,lol...

"Kingpin" always nice gear. I see on that PS you can attach two clipcords, I don't see the advantage there, but whatever, I've no doubt it's a good solid PS.

ive been reading through this thread,i to at this moment am experiencing the exact same thing.switch power supply on.(check).power supply gives a read out,ok.plug in machine,ok.press foot switch the reading backs right off and goes to zero??no smoke from power supply,opened it up no wires burn't out,swapped and changed all wires clipcords foot switch,cant understand it?i figured if the power supply was burn't out it woudnt even show a reading,so what do you mean when you say magnetizing the frame?? : (

Are you using a Coil or Rotary machine? What is the power supply you are using?
