My 2 cnt as a Stringway-groopy: If you start experimenting with different strings and tensions, a constant-pull makes life easier. (yes, I know a LO will get you there eventually).
And, Stringway gives you a 10 year warranty.
This comment from MathieuR is no surprise.
To OP keep in mind, that MathieuR is constantly pushing Stringway, to where it is sickening to hear it from him any more.
Either he has something to do with company or on payroll, as no one pushes a product this much without being associated with the company. It's not what this forum is to be for as well.
Read some other posters comments below with Stringway.
BTW, the gamma with the wise would be a good machine CP and a good mounting system.
If you are not in a hurry, there are some electronic high end machines that do go used for sale from time to time.You just have to be checking the sites every so often.
I purchased my last machine about 10 years ago as a company lost their distributorship to another company, and they dumped there machines (new) all at one time for a fraction of retail price, so I got a great deal on a very high end machine. I started stringing in 1968 with an old Serrano automatic drop weight which served its purpose back then, but a high end electronic makes stringing more a joy than a job. Most stringers never regrets getting a better machine, as many later upgrade and eventually pay the price and then try to sell there lower end machine.
If you can afford it get as much machine as you can get.You will not be sorry.
Here's a post by a poster here and link to response by diredesire a moderator here on SW machines.
Mathieu posted that there are workarounds, but as diredesire ( TW moderator) , commented there really should not be any workarounds necessary.
There should be more posts like these!
So read below. this way you can see the flip side to some other posters comments.
Off topic but I would still like to point out certain issues with the machine:
1. It is not possible to clamp top or bottom certain cross string with certain rackets
2. Fixed clamps have quite a bit of drawback (on the other hand they grip the string very well with light pressure)
3. Racket mount is sturdy but it's quite slow to mount a racket, specially when stringing different rackets in succession.
4. Tension head pull distance is very short and with stretchy strings the tension head bottoms out and multiple pulls are required
5. Accuracy of the tension head not that accurate at every angle as advertised. Theory is sound but it assumes 90 degree angle between the tension head and the weight bar. Due to manufacturing tolerances this is not easily achieved and also the string diameter affects this angle. Due to this tension may differ several % from the set tension when the bar makes a bigger angle with horizontal (easily 1 kg at 30 degrees from horizontal). As this is caused by manufacturing tolerance it also means that every machine is a bit different and accuracy between machines varies. There was some discussion about this in "Stringway machines users club thread" about a year ago.
6. The weight (I mean the weight in the bar) is quite heavy and if you do several rackets in a row (or during one day) your shoulders may not like it.
7. Lack of 360 degrees rotation wo concorde. And with concorde the tilt angle further affects the pull accuracy.
8 Automatic tension head lock / release may not work that well with thinner strings, especially with badminton strings.
