Hello Gammatech or others. I'm having a couple of issue with my 6XFC that I wanted to run by you. First, I'm having issues with the composite string gripper. When I wrap the string into the gripper, the gripper isn't closing tight enough to hold the string in place, it slips, not always, but often. If I wrap the string multiple times in the gripper it holds. I've tried to adjust many times to try and provide less spring loaded action but to no avail. Is this gripper worn out? Should I be looking to purchasing a new string gripper?
Second, I have the standard fixed clamp. On one of the clamps, the fixed part of the clamp, when I tighten to the base of the stringing machine, there is very little tension to lock the clamp in place. The other clamp provides a good amount of tension when tightening. The good clamp, when I tighten to the left, I feel strong tension when tightening. The other is very loose. Just so we are clear, we aren't talking about the string gripper portion of the clamp. We are talking about the base which tightens the clamp to base.
Sound like the clamp has seen its best days or is this something that can be removed, calibrated and fixed?
Thanks for your help.
