Dan Kubin Gold Bronze V3R Sidewinder - Workhorse Irons

Machine specifications:

*Limited edition Bronze x Gold limited edition.

*Bronze plated brass frame with 24 carat gold hardware and motor cover

*For those who have not yet tried one, the V3R has the same geometry as the original V3, but now revised and remastered. Creating the most user friendly Sidewinder, combining the features and knowledge gained from the V3 to the V6. Updates include a numbered race wheel, impact timing mark on the cam and frame (like the v5/6), notches in the o-ring bar for an optional silent stroke, spring-loaded vice-lock system, and aesthetic updates.

Machine configuration:

*For Standard Rod Needle: wrap a thick rubber band around the motor cover and across the front of the machine to add tension to the needle bar. It is recommended to use thick rubber bands and Dan's perfect nipples

*With Cartridges: Wrap a rubber band around the motor cover and over the top of the needle bar to counteract the tension of the cartridge upwards. Both thick and standard rubbers work, it will just depend on the tension of the cartridge membrane or rubber to determine which rubber provides the right counter resistance

"It is now one year into our cooperative effort with the V3R. Based on what I have learned this past year, and what my customers have expressed, I have made some updates to the V3R. First, you will now have the coveted DK thumbscrew! Secondly, I've placed the most crucial and misunderstood adjustment item, the impact screw, on the front. Accompanied by a hardened steel impact pin, the machine will be easier to readjust, and will keep its tuning much longer. For the A-bar, I used some tricks from the V7 to reduce splash and make it hit a little stiffer at the lower end. I also added the backing springs as well to prevent spring breakage.

These updates are in addition to the updated 2019 version which still has the same reliable and proven geometry as the original v3, but now revised and remastered with subtle differences to improve overall performance. This is the most user-friendly Sidewinder yet. The differences, apart from aesthetics, is the numbered race wheel, an impact screw timing mark on the cam and frame (like the v5-6). In addition, I made a new spring-loaded screw locking configuration that effortlessly holds your tube. The race wheel is indexed to 10 positions, and numbered accordingly.

Thanks. Dan ".
