I have a rather old stringing machine (alpha pioneer iii) and it has glide bars and fixed clamps. On one of my string jobs this weekend I noticed that I was loosing a lot of tension on my strings. I checked to see if the string was slipping on the clamps and it was not. I then looked that the linear gripper and it was okay too. Then I noticed my clamps slowly sliding on the glide bars. I tighted the clamps more and the clamps held their positions better, but the clamps were pretty tight and as a result slightly flattened the strings. But if I loosed the clamps a little bit they would slide on the bars again. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've already tried cleaning the glide bars with rubbing alcohol.
thanks
