[QUOTE="madtuna, post: 255484, member: 44"] Can't say I've watched his videos but I will say there is no way in hell I could possibly rate an ATX up there with a 5000 or a 4500 nor a 2300 for that matter,[b]in Australian conditions.[/b] Even down to things like balance, ground balancing, coil choices and ease of changing coils, coil pivot point and wear, they are chalk and cheese. Before the ATX hit the market here we were given one to put through its paces and review with videos etc. We put it through its paces alright, but there was nothing positive we could video or say so we didn't video it.... nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all etc. I have absolutely no doubt they are an excellent machine in the right conditions, unfortunately from my experience I just didn't find them suitable for use in the WA gold fields, or NSW.....
