Hi everyone,
I’m located in Europe and would like to buy an electric stringing machine with fixed clamps and 6 points mount. I’ve been lurking on the forum the past week and read most of the posts I could find about stringing machines options and techniques. Thanks for the lots of information!
I would love to hear your thoughts about my dilemma: the MT-200 vs the MT-40, both from Pro's Pro.
The price difference is big, €600 for a Pro’s Pro Challenger with MT-200, without a stand.
Second option is a Pro’s Pro Tomcat MT-400 and is €1100 comes with a stand, diamond coated gravity release clamps. Do you guys reckon it is worth the extra money? I’ve only read good things about the Tomcat and any information/reviews about the MT-200 is very hard to find and the once I found have mixed reviews.
I’ll be stringing for my girlfriend and me, also for my teammates and people at the club. Because the local pro shop just raised their price and is charging €26 now (including strings). I’ll be charging €12,50-ish for them if they have their own strings.
The stand will not be a/the dealbreaker. I have the space for the machine to always be there for now. I might move to a smaller place in about a year and a half. But I can always unmount the stand if it's too big in the new place to always be in its place.
Tried to look for used machines in my country but there are none that I would gamble to buy, mostly old Pro's Pro that has had 2/3 owners before.
MT-200
MT-400
Thanks for all the insights!
