ARC/Eagans Stringing machine

[Double_Bagel]

Does anybody have any experience with these? In particular the ARC-TOP A model?

There's a used one for sale here in Japan, and it's about $400. I am new to stringing, so want something user-friendly to start learning on.

I looked into Klippermates and other entry-level stringing machines, but all the websites I visited will not ship to Japan due to the weight of the machines.

I am always buying and trying out new racquets, and usually string them all fresh each time. Paying minimum $20-35 for any decent string, then another $25-30 to get it strung (going rates here in Japan) are getting ridiculous.

Here is the write up for it -
