I imagine a machine in the supplier's showroom, they need to have running perfect. Both HectorLooi and I had the same problems with the wobble which was excessive to begin with and the gaps under the seperatators. I also need to place a shim between the holder and the basket to further correct the wobble which could not be completed with just filing the basket tab notches. It runs ok now but i wasn't impressed with the quality standard but like i said it was a third of the price. -
I see. The pearl machine at the supplier's showroom, looked secure? Maybe Pearl/Janta has different product grades for their complete machine and then the spares. Got pictures of your modifications? £70 is like R1600, so if I buy the red Brenray for R1500 which is £65. So I am spending just get a machine £135 or R3100 to just get the machine w/o upgrading the wiring and changing out the electronics to modern ones, like a modern speed controller compared to the old rheostats typically in these machines. So lets say, I spend another R1500 to get like paint, the wiring and electronics. Mechenical department should have loose off cuts of aluminum rod that I could kindly request to be lathed into an extender to support the pearl baskets. So R4600/£200 or R5000/£220 max. So basically half price of a new machine. It's honestly really preferred to get a machine with the baskets. But with how rare they come by, I am not sure if this opportunity is worth taking? It's definitely going to be a long term project.
