Hey All,
Complete beginner here. I finally took the plunge and decided to order a AEF machine as my first stringing machine to get into the swing of things.
I’m based in the uk and looking around couldn’t find anything which met my criteria of being electric and fairly cheap. Cheapest ones I could find were about £800 used. I wanted the machine to be electric as I wanted something I could enjoy using and not be a ballache especially if i wanted to begin to do more and more rackets.
Luckily I have family in china who were kind enough to help ship a machine from taobao. Searching this forum I found out that AEF seemed to make some of the machines I see here in the uk. (I’m not sure if they make them or are dupes). Did some research and spoke to AEF over WeChat and finally settled on a machine. Cost me about £540 plus postage

3 Months later it arrived and I must say I am very impressed. I wasn’t able to find anyone with this machine so thought I would post about it and see if anyone else has anything similar.
Main Features:
Pre-Stretch
Constant Pull
Gravity Fixed Clamps (Semi Auto)
I have attached some pictures below.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to send me a message!
It looks to me as if its very similar to this PP machine. https://www.pros-pro.com/en/pros-pro-f6.html
with this puller. https://www.pros-pro.com/en/prospro-bespannmaschinen-elektroantrieb-mt-300.html
Could someone shed some light on this please.
Looking around people seem to be using the wise 2086 puller, did I make a mistake longevity wise with getting a puller that is a different design?
In terms of servicing and keeping the machine in tip top condition how do I look after my machine or does it not need any maintenance?
