sounds strange are there any sharp edges on the extensions for the rubber bands? Or do you place them on the bottom of the machine?

dont wrap them around the machine. hook one rubber band across from the pegs on the side, i was having the same issue until i tried that, now no issue at all.

Yeah, sounds like it's just old rubber bands to me.

Maybe try lubricating the needle bar where the rubber bands sit. If they still break, you will know that it is something other than the friction caused by the needle bar & bands rubbing together. Maybe? Just a suggestion.

Strange.. U are the first to have this prb, look if the rubberband hits the tube from the grip..

make sure the "crankshaft" is not coming into contact with the bands as the machine runs, is the only logical reason in my opinion
