Most likely a clip cord issue. Also, if you are working with a machine that connects the top half of your clip cord under the rear spring saddle, sometimes the clip cord can bounce around and make your machine run inconsitantly, especially if your spring deck is only 1/8″ thick (as are most cheap bent frames). I had this happen before. I fixed it by drilling the clip cord hole all the way through my spring saddle.

I was having the problem, so I switched to RCA jacks.
Completely solved the problem, and made it a lot
easier to switch from one machine to another.

I was also having the same problem, and upgraded to RCA, and I find it to be MUCH smoother. Even when I used an RCA ~> clipcord adaptor it fixed the problem. Which is weird…
it’s like the reg RCA cord, but instead of plugging into a machine it plugged into a cord that had a regular clip cord on one end, and RCA female jack on the other.
