Anand, If you would like a second AMAYA XT I have one for sale. The only catch is that after 3 million stitches the hook has worn and a replacement is NOT available through the distributor and Melco are not prepared to provide one either under warranty or for purchase. Melco service may be great inside the USA unfortunately however outside the USA their service leaves much to be desired. It's kind of like 'now we have your money you no longer are of any benefit' Glenn Global Embroidery -----Original Message----- From: amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kesavan Sent: Tuesday, 11 April 2006 8:09 AM To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [amayausers] Re: Help!!! Thanks Jeff/Roland, With this group going I dont think I will have qualms about buying more Amayas. I did a 100K Jacket back yeterday while doing my accounts. Had to get out my chair about five times for bobbin changes and a birds nest. I am using my self wound bobbins at the moment. Are there any brands of ready wound bobbins recommend? Thanks Anand Anand, One of the changes to the XT is that it does not have the sensors that detect color change home and whether the machine is on needle or not. The XT does it differently using a Color Change Encoder on the color change motor. The Non-XT machines do not have the encoder. Do not look for the sensors, they are not there.
