My Rapier 2 stopped working right in the middle of a tattoo... used a brand new clipcord, different power source, and foot pedal with no results. Its getting power because I can feel it jump when I crank up the volts and hit the pedal, its just not enough to start it running. I tried both loaded and unloaded. Anything I can do?? Snapped a liner spring yesterday and this thing breaks today... I'm going on vacation...

Have you tried calling Cary? He's not on here all the time, but has always been very helpful. I'm sure he'd be the best person to troubleshoot with.
Not too bad for a GIRL, eh?

How easy is this thing to put together after you take it apart? I'm afraid I'm gonna loosen a screw and it gonna explode into a thousand pieces...
