Default Stringing Machine Question...
I'm in the process of buying a new stringing machine, I mainly string racquetball racquets but hope to do some Tennis racquets as well. I currently have a Gamma FC 600 Table Top, Drop Weight, which works great (I'm selling it to a friend). I reasearched a few machines and I think I have made up my mind on going with the Mutual Power 2000, 4000, 6000 machines, they seem to be the best bang for the buck. I noticed that the 6000 machine has a different mounting system at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions than my current and the 2000 and 4000. Why is it different and is it better or worse? Like I stated, I mainly do racquetball racquets. With some of the frames having strings run through the handle and a ring of sort at the throat, I'm wondering which mounting system will be better (for Tennis racquet as well)?
The 2000 runs $399, 4000 runs $439 and the 6000 runs $469. For the extra $30 - $60, I wouldnt mind spending it if it's worth it in the long run.

I appreciate any and all replies. TIA

MTZ, you might also want to post this on the www.g r a n dslamstringers.com website. Some of the guys over there string quite a few racquetball racquet ball frames and would know if you need any adapters, etc. to handle the kind of frames you're referring to, especially the ones with the strings that go through the throat and into the handle.
