    I have no idea what this is

    I think I have seen a picture of one before but I can't find that part of my memory at all. I don't think they are rotaries to be honest.

    I saw them on eBay and have won them.

    I want to say it is a very early pen type machine, however with a vertical slide that travels through the solenoid. The slide or piston holds a cut down needle bar and I believe it uses a special autoclave able tip/tube and I think the slide is clave able too. Like I said I saw a photo or ad for them once some years ago but I don't know who made them or anything else. I would really love some help.

    Sorry for the poor photos they were the ones included in the ebay auction. That I might add was worded with almost zero information.

    I believe I once saw a photo of someone tattooing with one that was dated in the 70s or 80s, I am assuming that they are older creatures.

    Thanks in advance. I will update when I receive them.

    So nobody has ever seen one? There was a mention in the auction saying something about "Uni Karte" only ever made 20 machines. I can't find any information on a machine called that.

    So, I have them. 6 to be exact. I have no idea who made them. They are exactly how I thought they would be. A central solenoid ( hollow coil ) with a slide that acts as the coil center more or less. No markings at all. Very interesting machines for sure and damn near silent. I have tested them with the power supply that came with them and they are even somewhat adjustable. I was able to short the strike down to about 1mm and boost it up to about 3.5.

    Is kind of a coil sistem but with a piston instead of a armature bar right? kind of this industrials electric cilinders.
    How you put the needle into it?
    By what I understand this woud work good when you could adapt a cart grip.

    You have the right idea tattoo-kid. I bet it would work good with a cart.

    I bet too, also would have a perfect control with a frequency manager device, like those infinity from UK.
    Is a very interesting concept, and probably have 100% give, once that is pure magnetic force making the down movement.

    I think the person that made the LOD must have seen one of these and decided to miniaturize and modernize it. Although I haven't tried it with a normal power supply yet, I am assuming it uses pulse width modulation as I can't see any contact break points. Coolest thing is that it is nearly dead silent.
