Ok, really weird. I went to use my Roy Richardson machine today. When I started it up, I noticed a small puff of smoke come out the back of my machine bag. Took my foot off the pedal. Smelled the back of the machine and indeed, it had a faint 'something burned' smell.

Just to be on the safe side, I reversed my clipcord and started it up again. No puff of smoke the second time. Tattooed fine with it.

Anyone else EVER have this happen with an Uncle Royj or other direct drive rotarty? I don't think it's broken, or is it? D:
