Introducing the Laconia Tattoo Machine from Eikon – A fresh look at an old idea. On close inspection you’ll notice that the Eikon Laconia Tattoo machines are different. You’ll see that the coils don’t mount parallel to the spring mount, the base plate they mount to is actually angled downward away from the spring mount. Next, the armature bar is installed with no bend on the back spring, but the bar still clears the back coil on its down swing. Finally, the armature bars trajectory begins almost parallel to the spring mount, then travels down and away to connect with the front coil core. These differences are intentional. The subtle geometry modifications allow for the Laconia to be tuned easily with out having to bend the back spring. All Laconia tattoo machines are manufactured and assembled in Canada using quality Eikon machine parts including: Crown Standard eight wrap Coils, Conventional Armature Bars, Conventional Springs, Binding Posts, Capacitors and RCA Connection. The cast 1025 steel frame is blackened to protect against corrosion. They feature brass binding posts and uses 1 1/4″ Crown Standard coils. The cast silicone bronze frame is left naked so it will age with time. It features blackened steel binding posts and uses 1″ Crown Standard coils installed on a 1/4″ yoke.
