hey i have a gun and power supply and when i hook up my gun and get ready to get down, i step oin the pedal and the power supply seems to be working but no power is getting to the gun……:confused: this is getting frustrating ive checked the connections all is good im thinking its the power supply not giving the gun any juice or a bad cord ive tried 3 different guns but NOTHING!!! what am i doin wrong?

How do you know your foot switch is working?
If you are sure then I’d expect it to be the clip cord or your machine is fucked.

Hell, we are full of intelligence on here!:rolleyes:

swap machine, clip cord whatever until you find the offending link.

why replace the whole thing??? check the connections, it could even be that the capacitor has died.. for the sake of a few pennies its worth checking….. also check to make sure the screws are not shorting out onto the frame at your top screw post.. 😉

even at the worst you just change the coils if it has a break in the windings…. you need to test them with a multi meter and check for continuity

I’d say you got a pretty decent deal out of it then.
