Question by punishment_6_6_6: Broken tattoo machine?
I know how to take a machine apart an put it back together easily,
But I’ve never seen this.. I’m thinking its an open connection some where.. but it doesn’t make alot of sense.

ISSUE: When I connect the power prong chords to the rear binding post an the top “hole” The armatur bar doesn’t bring the needle up an down like its supposed to;Instead the bar goes down an stays down with a strong pull on it. It basically attaches itself to the coils an will not rise when I have the pedal down..

Any ideas?
Side note: If I take one of the prong clips that power it, Have one at the back binding post, Than take the other one an put it at the arm bar a certain position It will go up an down, Its just very touchy an too frustrating to mount like that.

Im guessing the way it works is by an electro-magnet and a spring and when u have the pedal down its supposed to cause the electro-magnet to turn on and off rapidly. maybe one of the resistors is blown, or a diode or something.
