These numbers are just off the top of my head and they are all respected machines. It doesn't cost much to do it right from the start. Also rotary works start at 120£, and the blunderbuss is an inexpensive machine from tattooed pirate that you can upgrade the motor. I think Dan Kubin's start at 250$ What is an entry level price? If you say below 100$ there is always the stealth and that is as low as I can stoop.
    Seems like the Stealth is the only acceptable knock off out there...

    I think maybe because they started making there version before the swiss was realy popular-they have put alot of money+time in marketing it and copyrighting it. If anything it bought biz to the swiss original in the states as alot of lic tattooers have bought the stealh and liked it so much that they end up buying the original.I also think the original is very high priced for such a simple basic machine and it would sell better if it was a bit lower in price.This design is not new tattooers have home built rotarys like this for years in canada and the uk were rotarys have been king.

    Let's not forget the Peter Tieg machine of Germany it's supposed to be the Rolls Royce of this type of Rotary. I have one that's not getting used, it'll be coming up for sale soon .
