The machine that you posted looks like what the new model will look like. That machine looks totally awsome. Wish I waited but for a home stringer I don't think it would matter as much.

If you decide you want to upgrade to the new model, let me know I might be interested in your current machine.

Here we have from left to right the new speed clamp from Eagnas, the Stringway triple clamp, and the 2 Gamma clamps!

Ok I went from this to this:
Czech Tension Sport MS-700.

Works great, drop weight, 6 point mounting, love the single action fixed clamps, although the only clamps I have used are floating...hmmmmmmmmmm.

My brand new rig. Yet to be used. Looking for a cart (I like the Husky cart idea). Need to stock up on some string and string a few extras to pay for it. Glad to have this vs. paying $39 for a hybrid at the tennis shop.

Ended up finding a good deal on a low end 4drwr rolling tool chest. Here is my complete set up.

I've got the same machine as the OP. Might post pics later.

Looks like a shelf from IKEA.

Finally they sold me a floorstand to my new V888 machine. Now it looks good enough to place in the club-shop

Huh? Machine? Where? All I see is a sweet spiral staircase.

BTW, congrats on the find. How'd you finally get it?

drakulie · 09-08-2009, 05:09 AM

^^LOL. When I first posted the photo, I mentioned how funny people are in that they notice the funniest things when people post photos.

Anyway, got it from a guy up north who had listed it over a year ago, and never sold it. Machine is rock solid, and strings beautifully.

Hi Drak, what are your plans for the Neos? ... planning on selling it?

On another note, I would like to string my racquet on the same machine Roger Federer does!

Right now, I have it as my backup stringer.

That is fairly cool. sampras, federer, murray, delpotro, hewitt, gonzo, etc.

Glad to hear it. I'm upgrading my Apex 2 & Wise, and I can't decide between a Star 3, 4, or 5. Any thoughts?

Apex + Wise tension is alread a nice upgrade, and may be all you need. however, since you asked......................

The Star 3 and 4 both have identical moutning systems, clamp bases and center clamps. Where they differ is in the tensioning mechanism. The star 3 has a anaolog dial to set tension, and only pulls at one speed. That's it.

The star 4 is digital and has 3 different pull speeds; a "kevlar function" for strings that don't really stretch, cross button, tie of button, etc. So you get more bells and whistles. The 4 also has what is called a "load cell" to set tension, which is said to be more accurate than what the star 3 has. ( not sure if one is better than the other)

The star 4 is very hard to come by. I waited for over a year to find one. The star 3's are plentiful, and coudl be purchased at below 1,000.

the biggest selling point (for me) the star 5 has, is that it is new. I don't prefer the mounting space on the 5 over the 3 or 4, nor do I like the 3 teeth clamps that come with the 5. Also, the 5's base clamps is a round knob you have to turn to lock it in place. That said, it is still an awesome machine. However, if I had to go the route of a new machine, over a used one, for the price, I'd go with the new Prince machines. Not only are they roughly the same price as the star 5, but the mounting and clamping, IMO are better, and you get about $3,000 in strings.

Good luck!

star 5 15 · 09-10-2009, 11:45 AM

Not to contradict what drak says but as far as the mounting on the star 5 goes. I think it is by far the best in the buisness with the star 3 and 4 behind it. The Prince's clamps and mounting are the same as the star 3 and 4 thats probably why drak prefers it. The Star 5s clamps are very ergonic and easy to use. I have extensively use the star 4(probably done about 1k racquets on it) and I find the star 5 clamps a lot faster because they sit up a lot closer to the stringbed. The star 5 is a great machine. I've done lots of gut poly everything and its all great. I've had it since December have about 400 racquets on it so far.
Here's a pic:

The leather was a new expieremental addition I added to put the starting clamp on. It works great.
