Hi
I'm part of a tennis and squash club where we have an old crank stringing machine. It doesn't really hold reproduceable tension anymore and you have to string with flying clamps because some parts are missing. I have asked if we could invest a little money in a used machine that was at least functioning. It was decided on a board meeting that there will be set aside around 1250-1750€ to buy a brand new machine. People want to get an electric now that we are upgrading.
My opinion is that the machine probably won't string more than 50 strings a year, so the emphasis should be on longevity and buying something of a know brand where parts and repairs will be possible down the line. Also the machine is free to use for all club members, so something that is quite intuitive to string on would be nice. I have stringed about 30 squash rackets, so I have an idea about what is important on a machine, but I'm no expert, so I would like to get some advice on what will get us the most for the money.
I have found three machines within the budget:

Any of the machines you can recommend or is there other models I should take a look at?
