actually, about 60-70 of the racquets i string per year are my own. i only string for a couple of the guys i play with.

i had beg and plead with my wife to let me spend the money on a used sensor. i'm not sure what possessed her to agree but i'm glad she was just crazy enough to say yes because a nice machine certainly does make stringing alot more enjoyable.

This thread is starting to go off-topic. Stick to the topic folks.

My friend's recently purchased Ektelon model E with a H upgrade

I thought it was shop version of the machine, but it's actually an upgrade/accessory to the Model H. After buying this machine, he ran into a Neos 1000, so he'll be selling this machine after replacing some worn parts.

Yeah, it didn't look like something that Ektelon would sell :/ Or just generally any company would sell to the public putting aside shops.

If you have a copy of the Model H manual it's in the back pages. The only bad thing is the feet of the cabinet dont' level.

Oh. I guess it's still pretty nifty thing to have when stringing.

It probably cost more for the cabinet, so not may were sold.

Not too much to the point where you can't string but if you look in the video they did fine.

the feet/legs can be stepped around/over.
a cabinet cannot. i had my old court and slope (kmate) on a homemade
rolling cabinet and it was a wee bit more in the way, but no biggie.

Here are some updated pics. I have moved the head more on-center, so the angle (friction) is decreased.
