Okay, so maybe it's not the Gen7's fault, but I do need to know what the hell I'm doing wrong to this poor thing so that I can start using this machine more confidently.

I've already e-mailed Samyo, but I figured it couldn't hurt to post a couple of the videos I sent him, maybe one of you could hit me upside the head and show me the light. Figured it wouldn't hurt, especially assuming that Samyo is a pretty busy guy, and hoping that my issue is somewhat of an easy fix.

Before I send you the links, I'll tell you what I've noticed from my machine, which was bought used:

-a very inconsistent rhythm while running the machine loaded.

-the needle seems to be changing depths as it's running.. in the video, you can see it from the back of the machine... it kinda moves forward and backwards slowly, as its running.

-the machine has a weird delay when it starts up, before getting to its full speed. (This could very well be totally normal, and i'm just being a hypochondriac about things)


Here are the vids:

as always, thanks for the time guys. appreciate any input. and again, i've already contact samyo, but figured if it were a simple enough solution, it would be worth posting on here.
