    I have found the Mabuchi motors very forgivng when it comes to power supplies. Of course a good PS is the way to go with any machine. One thing I have found is that sometimes the motors in the rotary machines produce EMI (electrical noise) that messes with the power supplies....not the power supply messing up the machine. This is where a filter of some sort like the ferrites and caps come in. I have seen this happen on the lab power supplies as well, where the display will randomly change when the machine is running....the noise is messing up the digital meter.

    The old Eikon 200 is a great little unit and runs rotary machines just fine. As it was explained in an earlier post, the newer Eikon models were not built to run rotary machines at all and if you had one that did....you were lucky......they normally shut down to "protect" the power supply because it thinks the points are stuck or the machine is shorted. The folks at Eikon did come to realize that alot of artists were moving into rotary machines, so if they were going to continue to sell power supplies.....they had to change their thinking. The newest model, the EMS400 looks to be a very cool unit. I have played with it and the clean sleek design is the bomb! It uses capacitive touch controls that work thru barrier wrap and gloves, so it shold be very nice to keep clean and sanitary.
    Their last two power supplies, I was not impressed with....at all.....but I think they hit it right on with this guy!

    Mastech.com has lab grade power supplies that are high quality at a reasonable price with fine and course voltage adjustments for millivolts. They also have 2 and 3 power power supply combos. I build a switching box for these so you can use standard clip cords and foot pedals, it also has a pot for adjusting the voltage on one of the hook ups. The better the voltage the longer the motor life as well as the stronger the coil on coil machines.
