Looks like they took they took the original design they had added a spring for the pivot and a porkier motor for more torque. and modified the frame to make up for the motor weight. What does the cost of this one come out around? When they where at the Toronto Tattoo convention a few years ago the original rotary that was similar to the Swiss (or even more so the original Ben Wight with the hooks) was round about what the swiss machine is retail cost wise.

The machine is being sold for about £230 including VAT from one supplier here, which equates to around 360USD & about the same in CAD according to google.

Lauro Paolini has had a swiss-style rotary called Nuova Vertigo out for a while (sells on one site in the UK for £295 before 20% tax) but I've never really found much information on it or even read on this forum about anyone having used one.

This new Swallow rotary machine looks alright though... fairly reasonable price aswell.

yes mate looks reel cool as well runs a 9 to 12 volt maxon motor feels well built i reckon it might be a bit noisey as well those bearing type with the arm to armature usually are cant wait to try it tho lol
