Anyone know if the Revo 4000 and other Alpha lock outs come with an overtravel stop (toward the turntable) on the crank travel track ala Gamma?
Also, between the two brands is it normal for the turntable to have rocking play/tilt/wobble? Or would that come from the turntable‘s support shaft not being tightened in its receptacle (in Alpha’s case)?
The new string grippers on Alphas no longer have screw adjusters but are apparently self-adjusting for gauge; they also have closely spaced vertical grooves in the top 1/8” of the jaws...does this mean they aren’t diamond coated, and would the grooves be a problem for gut? Or are strings not supposed to be gripped at the top of the jaws? Have Revos always had diamond string grippers?
Thx in advance for any help; extensive search didn’t result in answers.
