........But are you based in Chorley? does the give system when turned all the way in take away ALL the give or is there still a little bit of give left as is fairly common on machines of this type , also what are the noise levels like ? Didnt like the fact with my DF that it was completely silent when unloaded but noticeably noisier when loaded? I personally have had great experience with Sabre needles , always seemed to be of good quality to me. Does seem to be a negative response on here when reading back through the post , not sure why really ?
