Eagnas Stringing Machine - Professional

I"ll probably check to bases of my stringer tomorrow.
If they still have that problem I will check on Eagnas about the some new bases.

Thanks again

I just remembered, it's been a while since I've purchased from Eagnas, ala Victor. I had asked how much to upgrade my base clamps, and he told me, $70 each, which I thought was overpriced. He then told me it's cheaper to sell my machine and buy another machine with better clamps. Victor is easy to talk to if you know his character, if you are going to an A hole about it then he will treat you like an A hole. I would do the same.

The base clamps I recently posted are about $100 for the pair, shipped form Austria.

Supposing if I'm going to sell my stringer what stringer would you recommend me from Eagnas?

Who is Victor?

Why stick with Eagnas? If they offered newer base clamps and such, why not, but they don't.

Victor is the General Manager of Eagnas USA, it used to be called Maxline. Most people when they call Eagnas, talk to Victor, an older Chinese (err Taiwanese) fellow with a heavy Chinese accent. Those of us who live in Los Angeles and have gone to the office to pick up products, know it's a small hole in the wall warehouse with a office in the front, with disassembled machines all over the place. It's been rumored that Victor is a close relative of the owner of Lily-Lee the Company that makes Eagnas and other brands. I think they also make Lobster Ball machines.

Then what stringer would you recommend?

[Lakers4Life]

Gamma, Prince, Alpha, Pro's Pro, and Stringway, in that order.

The reason I put Stringway last is by usefulness. Though there are many loyal followers who would disagree, just like Prince Neos/Ektelon owners.

Ok,thanks for the assitance!
I'll keep it mind.

sounds to me like you need to adjust your base clamps, although I haven't tried to cipher how they become tighter and bind up, vs. becoming looser. Perhaps the cam/switch/whatever action vs the threads could that.

adjust them. use the machine, learn etc. then next go round don't stop short of Gamma or Prince. Anything more is just butter.
