NEW Dan Kubin V3/24 Sidewinder with EXTRA HIT and MORE POWER!

This new version is built with a solid brass weighted armature bar for even more hit and power than the standard V3/24 Sidewinder! These are for those looking to push extra large groupings or to just have a machine with lots of power and hit.

These Power Sidewinders are not for everyone, the standard version is more than enough hit for most. Especially with the new V3/24 Needle Bar Guide added, eliminating the need for a rubber band, reducing drag and improving performance. 

Standard V3/24 Description:

The most significant update to the V3/24 Sidewinder is the added (and optional) Needle Bar Tensioner. This added tensioner eliminates the need to use a Rubber Band, improving all around machine performance and results. Tensioner reduces spitting and increases power. These machines can be used with or without the Tensioner, it is detached by simply removing the thumbscrew and taking it off the machine. 

Aside from the added Needle Bar Tensioner, this new version of remastered V3 Sidewinder is dialed in and updated with various improvements to increase machine longevity and consistency. 

The V3/24 follows the same concept as the past V3r, but with a focus on what makes a Sidewinder a Sidewinder.  Hard hitting, effortless, and zippy.  -Intended for experienced artists who don’t want to mess around.

Machine Specs:

• Black Brass Frame with Black Hardware(*Finish may vary)
  
• 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.
• The motor is the same as the  V2-V4 and V7 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)

• Marked 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:
  • Needle Bar Tensioner - when setting up your needle and tube, position needle tensioner in desired position depending on the amount of tension you want to add to the needle bar. Adjust position by loosening the thumbscrew and then tightening when you reach desired tension. 
  • Rubber Band alternative setup - Loosen / remove thumbscrew to take the needle tensioner off. Then when setting up the machine, 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.
  

V3R and V3/23 Sidewinders are engineered, designed, and tested by Dan, milled in his most trusted machine shop in Kansas City, then built by DK certified trained technicians at the Workhorse facility in Michigan. All other models are built by Dan and his team in Kansas City. V3/23s go through rigorous QC checks and are all ran through our testing machine to lightly break in. One year warranty on all models. V3R and V3/23 are serviced by Workhorse, all others are serviced by Dan or one of his certified technicians found on his website.

RCA Specifications:

• RCA version is wired for the harder hit mode only using RCA connection. If using a clip cord on this version, they are wired opposite of the standard clip cord version, use Positive side DOWN for hard hit, Positive up for a more muted hit.

These are very limited and once they are gone they will forever be gone. 

As described by Mike Pike:

”I think it was around 2003 or 2004 Ernie wanted to make up some of these cast frames he made up a drawing and a buddy of mine that worked at the foundry in downtown LA made the match plate . Ernie was a good guy, and it was kind of like a tribute to him. It literally took forever for the guy to get the frames done and then milling was going to be done by another guy that had all the Frames but ended up passing away and then I mailed some in the garage and Ernie milled some and we built them up . He wanted to make he wanted to make the castings kind of thick to where they could be mailed to take any size coil and have a lot less draft angle than the ones that he did with Paul Rogers”

Frame Specs:

• Cast Iron Frame
• Raw Oiled Finish
• Brazed Collet Vise
• Forward facing wingnut that won't ride your hand or get in the way
