I suspect this too, the building is at the most 25 years old, but my space itself has been a few different businesses over the years and some of the wiring in there makes me scratch my head.
I tried my co-workers ups on battery mode and it didnt change the problem my Swash gen 8 was having.
Swash acts like they have never seen a machine do what mine is doing, but including the thread on here Ive heard of about 7 people having the same issue. They are replacing the machine with a Whip at my request, but after all is said and done because of shipping its going to be a 700$ whip. Wtf...
With Critical, the first return was due to something faulty in the supply that made it do weird shit at low voltages, the second time was because the inputs got so loose after 3 months use that the current was cutting out when I moved my clip cord to tattoo and the third time my cx-1 stopped working in the middle of a tattoo after only about 6 months of use.
They replaced it no quiestions asked a paid for return shipping.
And this is all fine and dandy, these guys are giving me the benefit of the doubt and replacing their faulty products, but this shit has disrupted my work flow and cost me many wasted hours of trouble shooting and emails.
Its really frustrating.
