Ok!. Any Idea who this is from?

I'm pretty sure my boss was given it by an old boy who wasnt a tattooist but a tinkerer. He also made him some grips too. A friend of Mick Cope, if I recall correctly. As I said, i'll get some pics and proper info in a couple of days for you.

So how does the armature bar work on that? It's hard to see in the picture, does it go thru the body and hinge behind it? In the photos it looks pretty short. I am wondering if it has a short throw. Damn cool either way.

The armature is attatched on a pivot pin in the frame. It ends where the back of the frame is. It has pullback tension via an 'O' ring. Very simple in its set up and easily replacable I have measured the throw and it seems to be an approx 3,5 Maybe 4 at a push.

Cool, it is an impressively clever design.

Hi JayJ yep thats right, The guy is only 5 minutes away from me so I thought I'd take a punt on it. I had to drop a split collit into the tube vice for a better grip to give it a try out loaded, plus I fitted an rca fitting on the back.
Dale from 'Rotary works' sent me up a new spare vice clamp the other day with a machine I ordered from him. (Very strong machine by the way, and nicely finished)
Gonna contact him as the spare is a little short for this machine so gonna see what other bits n Bobs he's got knockin about.
Well spotted that man!

Haha I was watching it and ponding whether to have a bid myself!

That's a nice looking machine though it looks like a fishing reel. Wished I had one to test how it runs!
