    I don't think that's a Stealth Gen 2 ( it might be a perfectly good machine ). Look at this picture, it's different http://www.thetattooshop.co.uk/shop/...o-machine.html

    yeah def not the same ,the guy that is selling them seems on the level but, said they have a better motor ,and he has re wired them and changed them from clipcord 2 rca and it comes with a cord . for $100 usd its not bad for a swiss rippoff ,,
    just didn't wan't to fork out to much $$$ to start with.
    Like i said i'm new to rotary and see a lot of great work being done with them and thought i need to give them a try so i'll see how i go with this one and let you guys know.

    they go for 50 wholesale form china ,gangstajay bought one and sad the stock ones run better then the stealhs.
    But with the upgrades i would pay 100

    Keep this in mind as well... If you are looking for a good starter rotary to save money you can buy one from Dan Kubin, Mike Metaxa, Roy Richardson or a Rotary works. None of these machines will break the bank and you will still get a very good start with a machine that if you hate it will hold some level of resell or trade value. You would probably tell someone they are silly for buying a $100 coil machine.

    I can speak only of the rotary works, I dont own the other 3 ... there all great from what I have seen.. rotary works machine run very smooth at very low volts, they are great for line work,color or blk and grey.. I have 2 use them for line work...
