paco rollins machines?
 

I wanna get some new machines and im thinkin of going with paco rollins. from what ive read the consensus is that they are good daily work horses at a fair price. would any of u suggest these? and im not real sure if i should get a cutback shader or color packer setup. most of my customers are dark skinned so not sure which would be more beneficial... anyone got any input on this? thanks

I think you should type Paco in to the search dude. there are already a load of threads about his machines :)

hey man, i am an apprentice and my experience is limited. i ordered a paco brass liner and out of the box the tuning had a massive throw. i adjusted it to a little over dime gap and it has preformed beautifully. it runs strong and i would definitely recommend it. paco rocks. another exellent builder is tim orth. his are a bit more expensive but they are bad-ass.

YOu SO could have been a d**k on that one. Hahah

dark skin: get a pair of the brass ones. i used them when i worked at a shop where most of my clients were dark skinned and it put the ink in there without over working. no tuning problems with the brass ones either.

I've had the same Paco machines for the past couple years, and they work great. I have a brass shader and iron liner, and I use them daily. My back spring broke on my shader, but I cut a new one and works better, honestly. They definitely work for what I need them for, and Paco is a really cool dude.
