I do black and grey with the 2.5 cam the give locked all the way down so no give at 8 volts.

Awesome machine. Had previously used my 2 Neotat Vivace machines for all shading and color. Hate to admit that they have taken a back seat to my Halo. (have the 4.0 throw) From packing to color to smooth B&G is a very versatile machine. Still love my Neotat's but am very happy with my halo.

Hey all,
My Halos have recently gone noisy. I have two (signed) pre-production and two regular "labeled" machines. The two pre-productions have always been my fav. They are quiet and smooth. There was a small bit of incompatibility getting the motors to fit between the pre and regular release machines, so they wnt back to G for a fix. That was about a year ago... All has been great! Until the last couple weeks, the machines have gone quite noisy --almost coil noisy. Cant stand it!
I have taken them apart, cleaned, re-lubed, no change. What has happened and what can I do??? How often should the springs be changed???

I noticed that the armature pin in my halo has a lil back and forth in it if you push it from side to side, and that machine is quite a bit louder than my other machine where the armature pin is snug. try pushing your armature pin from side to side and see if there is any play, if so youll pry have to send it in, just an idea
