Could you show a Star 2 with a racket mounted. I can't see how the side arms hold the racket. Thanks.

steve, here you go. Although this is not from a star 2, it is the same set up.

ericson, those machine look sick! I've seen Jan's 5502 on the photo library project, and I know Richard Parnell has one as well. Lucky *******s. I wonder how many of those were made, and/or still around. Would love to get my hands on one of those.
Any chance you have the manual for either of those machines? the 5502 or 4002?? The 4002 is also impressive. I think the one pictured recently sold on auction. about $1500 if my math is correct, but I may be wrong as this seems very cheap. what do you know about those machines? what do they do exactly, as far as the computer screen??

I have a 5502 which is still going strong and a 3502 at home. My first Babolat machine was a Starring "E" (which is not on the list). Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the 3501 and 5501 were never sold as the clamps are electromagnetic and are on fan plates as opposed to the 3001 & 3002 which are on a slot. The fan plates mean that the clamp would not be able to do both sides.
Take care. Richard |
