Seems a lot of these machines are similar just marketed with different names and colours in different countries.

1993 National College Ultimate Champ. Pro Staffs do nothing for me, but I do like Pete.

Wish there was some readily accessible ultimate leagues here in Aus. Doesn't seem like it wee took off here.

So, it cost you around $150 i figure. Congratulations, it is a solid machine.
I would suggest to calibrate it first. Good luck.

Nice find. That was my first machine and she treated me well.

I had called up Eagnas regarding a combo 810 and they quoted me $579.00 + 50.67 tax (8.75%) = $629.67 total picked up from their warehouse in Gardena, CA.

Then I called Alpha and they quote me $649.00 no tax + free shipping = $649.00 for a Revo 4000.

This is a no brainer as the difference was only $19.33

Needless to say I went with the Alpha Revo 4000

So far no problems and customer service (Mark) is great.....

The first thing I did was to buy a Gamma Tension Calibrator.

One question: How often do I have to calibrate it for crank machine?

Depends on your string load.
If you do around 3-5 frames per week, then once every 2-3 month is ok. If you do like 10-20 per week, then every month.
I do about 25-30 per week but, i like to check calibration on my Star 5 every 2 weeks just to be sure.

I've only got a Klipper - I expect to do up to 5 a year so I don't need fancy stuff but it would be nice one day...

3 yrs ago, i was thinking i'd be stringing 1 racquet a month. i'm now up to around 100+ racquets per year.

Wow that's a big change! I only want to do my own racquets, in poly, in the 30-40 lb range.

I definitely don't want the responsibility if I wreck someone's racquet. I had a friend who strung my Ripsticks in the 90's and gouged the throat with his stringer clamps - I was not too pleased...of course he denied he did any damage
