I have NO idea what you are saying...the front coil is even with the magnet?...The front coil IS the magnet
weird. cuz like the other day i was walkin around and noticed the carpet was even with the floor.
lol ok let me explain again. on the 2 coils the little round black part(the actuall magnet not the coil wire)normally sticks up like 3-4 mm. well on the front coil the coil wires are pushed up so now the gap is now at the bottom of the front coil. i hope someone can understand this cause i no this is not normal.
Nope never happened to me...just a bad coil...they just ain't supposed to do that pal!!!
what kind of coils were they? and that middle part. its the coil core.
im not sure but it was a piece of shit. ive used it twice and i dont think i will use it again.
I'm with Taz here. That just sounds like some shitty coil building. My guess is they used glue on the coil wraps or something to that effect and it just ain't gonna hold up. What the hell kinda machine did that shit?
the sad thing is i bacht it from the top studio around here. I wont even sell it cause whoever buys it will come back bitchin at me
So through a new set of coils on it no biggy!
yeah your right i think im gunna strip down the frame cut the vice off and get a new one. and put all new parts on it
