Yes, we agreed on 325 if it is in good condition. I didn't even want to go look at it if the price wasn't right. Do you think the tension head is in bad shape??
Well, I met with him last night and I was really happy with what I saw. I am just getting started in stringing but it did have the two glide bars with clamps which both seemed to work nicely with no dents or dings in glide bars. it also had smaller for lack of better term, glide bar for the crosses and a small tool box of spare parts for it... It looked a lot cleaner than the pictures looked, so overall I am very happy with the purchase.
So now I just need to learn how to use it......
Ok. I managed to get a racquet strung, knots were the hardest to get right but I will get that with time... I hope... I have a luggage scale that I have weighed my wife's suitcase to within a pound of the airport so I felt somewhat comfortable that it is close?.?
I pulled tension against the scale and at 30lb I read 26 on scale
At 40 lb I read 34 and at 50 I read 41 on the scale.
Does it just need calibrated?? If so how do I do this???

Those readings would have me consider having the head reconditioned at tennis machines.
For my pre-owned H, the readings on my calibration scale are around 3 lbs off the mark (higher than indicated on the head) at 30, 40 and 50 lbs ... I haven't bothered to calibrate, but rather factor it into the settings since the discrepancy is consistent across all applicable tensions.

Jamey@richardsonplumbinginc.com is my email.
I don't know if I did the test correct but I just mounted the scale on the bracket that holds the head of a racquet and tied a piece of Kirs. PL2 from the hook of scale straight to the tension head and pulled the different weights???
Thanks for the manual guys and all of the help..
I really didn't want to send it off unless I must. I want to try to calibrate first myself and if I keep getting bad readings then I will send it off.
Question: Do you make the adjustments with tension pulled or release tension and make adjustment and re-tension and check out results??
Max PLY - I don't know why it does that. if you don't mind would you try Jsapp7733@aol.com
