![]() A VIEW OF THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE – LOTS OF WIRES!Īttaching the monitor to its mount was another step that really should have been more straightforward and obvious than it was, but given the incredibly basic illustration, this was something that I got wrong – only realising the error in the way I’d put it together once further integration with the wooden frame was needed. There’s the sense, then, that this is not a product aimed at complete novices – and it should have either come with that caveat or be accompanied by instructions that take into account different levels of knowledge and experience, which it unfortunately falls down on. Though a red and black wire going into either positive or negative attachment is likely something that someone with even a tiny bit of electronics-based knowledge would have known without any assistance, for me and my lack of experience, that was immediately baffling. The instructions looked pretty clear though separated into a pretty small number of steps, it did make the process look fairly painless and straightforward.ĭuring the building of the machine, however, that simplicity in the instructions became a problem – the lack of clear indication of what size screw to use at any given point made the process needlessly confusing, as did the general lack of guidance as to which wire was to go into which part of each button. Putting together the wooden frame of the machine looked straightforward enough, but wiring up buttons and plugging them into a control unit, which itself then needed to be plugged into an extra console, as well as securing a monitor to a frame and getting audio out of it – well, that all seemed a bit much to me. ![]() So when the Sharpin unit arrived – one of their Ultra machines – my heart did sink a bit.
