    Hi,

    I have a bit of a problem.. I have calibrated my machine for 13kg..and have just made a racquet! But I think that the 'ping-sound' (when i hit the strings) is not right....normaly I would expect to hear a piiiing-piiiing-piiiing..but i only hear piing-piing-piing..the tone is not either that high (or what you say?)..

    Anyone who has some idea of what I might do wrong? :eek:

    What is this thing good for? I've market it with a red circle:

    I've locked up the screw A to adjust the machine with screw B, is this correct? - I've off course locked screw A after adjusted the machine.

    Looks like Eagnas's Easy-3! Besides the screw, could you snap some high-resolution pictures of the clamp and tensioning mechanism? Thanks :) !

    -Screw A is used to lock or secure screw B.
    -Screw B is for the adjustment of the sensibility of the trigger.
    -The red circle market part is to prevent the tension head from tilting up when it brakes or stops at the right tension.

    Darn :), the computer I used earlier has very yucky graphics output. I couldn't even distinguish which model of Eagnas in the picture. My apology . . .

    What adjustment screws are you referring to? Are you refering to the tension adjustment screw, which usually is a socket screw, or to the screws to adjust the tension locking lever of the tension head, which may consist of two screws, one either a socket screw and a hexagon head screw or another with two hexagon head screws.
    The machine as shown is not an Easy-3 as it is too big and the side supports are V-shaped instead of "C" supports. The tension head looks like an Eagnas part though.

    The machine is a Tyger Pro65, cost about 1000USD here in Denmark.

    Taneepak, I'm reffering to the screw when I'm calibrate my machine...so it's the one to adjust the tension lock.

    I've read something about that every time you are not using the machine you should set the mashine back to 0 lbs/kg...I've NEVER done that, and my machine i about 2½ years old now - so should i change this spring? :

    If you can find a replacement, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt.

    As with any spring-loaded devices (e.g., crank stringing machines, old-fashioned wind-up clocks/watches, toys, etc.), it's always a good idea to let the spring "relax" so that it retains its springiness. If you have the manual for your machine, it most probably mentions that too (i.e., you should reset it to 0 after use).

    Malik, may I suggest you first find out if your machine's tension head is still accurate before trying to re-calibrate it. Try to borrow a tension calibrator from a friend. Do this first.
    If your tension head does not match the tension calibrator, then you can re-calibrate the tension head. You can do this later, after the above.

    There shouldn't be any different between a tension calibrator and a fisherman scale...as I know of?

    I've now borrowed af tension calibrator and the fisherman scale was 100% correct, or at least showed the same as the tension calibrator..

    You can now test your machine's tension head using the tension calibrator.
