"Now with an updated weighted impact screw! I found that it helps with the stability of the hit, and improved overall performance. Also, please note the rubber band position is another simple tuning element. For lower volt operations, or harder hit, position the band pointing slightly up. This will reduce return spring tension thus making it operate better at slower speeds and decreasing the amount of give. Bonus is less strain on the rubber band.
Previous updates to the V3R include adding the coveted DK thumbscrew, moving the impact screw (the most crucial and misunderstood tuning element) to the front end of the armature bar and added a hardened steel impact pin so the machine will be easier to reset, and will hold its tune much longer. I also used a few tricks from the V7 to reduce spitting and make it hit a bit more rigid on the low end and added the backer springs as well to prevent spring breakage.
These updates are in addition to the 2019 updated version which still has the same dependable and proven geometry as the original v3, but now revisited and remastered with subtle differences to improve overall performance. This is the most user friendly Sidewinder yet. The differences, others than aesthetics, is the numbered stroke wheel, an impact screw timing mark on the cam and frame (like the v5-6). Additionally, I did a new spring loaded vice lock setup that effortlessly clamps down your tube. The stroke wheel is indexed in 10 positions, and numbered accordingly."
Thanks for looking - Dan.
Machine Specs:
Polished Raw Brass Frame (for earned natural patina it will gain over time and use) plus Blackened Hardware
DK Thumbscrew, new Armature Bar, and updated Stroke Wheel for improved performance
The renowned rotary liner. Effortlessly sink any size line by just grazing the skin. Also good for shading and color blends if you adjust your stroke and voltage.
The motor is the same as the V2-V4 Sidewinder, which has proven the test of time. It has been a favorite of the long time Sidewinder collectors.
Vice-Lock that easily tightens on nearly any tube
Great for all varieties of Line Work or as a Fast Shader/Packer
Timing mark on the cam and frame for setting the impact screw. (Just like the V5 and V6)
Numbered stroke dial so you can easily play with the stroke without fear of losing that sweet spot. You can’t make it too long or too short
Machine Setup:
Standard Needle on Bar: wrap a thick rubber band around the motor cap and across the front of the machine to add needle bar tension. It is recommended that you use Thick Rubber Bands and Dan's Perfect Nipples.
Cartridges: wrap a rubber band around the motor cap and over the top of the armature bar to counteract the cartridge's upward tension. Thick or standard rubber bands both work, it will just depend on the tension of the cartridge membrane or band to determine with rubber band provides the proper counter resistance.

A few words from Adam about this machine: "The Ghost Dog Liner is set up to make solid single pass outlines with ease. Weighing in at a mere 6 ounces, this is a machine that punches way above it's weight class. Perfect for tattooers who like the weight of a rotary machine but prefer the feel and performance of a coil machine" -Respectfully, Adam C.
Designed by SOBA, this is the best tool possible to perfectly align your abar with your tube vise and coils, plus turn it sideways and it features a slot you can slide your abar into to tweak it if your frame is a little out of whack.
- 5/16" x 3.5" Stainless Bar - Knurled Grip - Armature Bar Nipple Slot on the top for alignment use - Armature Bar Groove in side for tweaking / turning your abar if necessary....we highly recommend that only those experienced with machine building and repair use the tweak option....it is not always necessary and not always the best way to make things hit flat, just one of many options. - A must have for machine building and machine repair - Skills not included, sorry

Joshua Bowers High-Jack
The High-Jack attaches to your workstation magnetically and plugs in to the "machine" port on your power supply effectively moving your clipcord jack 5 feet into the air. This is the ideal position for your clipcord to hang from to keep it off the floor and free from rubbing, tugging, and snagging as you work.
No more rolling over your cord with your chair
Keep your cord off the floor
Reduces the weight hanging off the back of the machine
Reduces tugs and snags as you tattoo
Extends the life of your clipcord
A few words from Joshua about The High-Jack:
"The High-Jack is a product I developed to make my clipcord drape and move more easily. The High-Jack magnetically attaches to your work station and plugs in to the Machine port on your power supply. Your clip cord then plugs in to the High-Jack, effectively lifting the clipcord jack 5 feet in to the air. This allows the cord to drape naturally from above you, doesn’t rub on the floor, doesn’t snag across your lap and it takes weight off of the back of the machine easing hand fatigue greatly.
The High-Jack Switch has all the great features of the basic High-Jack with the great new feature of having a switch box at the end to be able to toggle back and forth between two cords. This is a great feature for people using multiple cord types or just want two cords connected so they don’t have to switch cords back and forth. The toggle move from side to side selecting which cord is powered with off in the middle, so you can run on constant and turn your machine off at the High-Jack.
I have been using this product for over a year now, along with the rest of my shop. We were originally just testing them out but I speak for me and the rest of the shop when I say that we can’t imagine tattooing without them now."
