OK. I thought the High Point was just a trade name of Robart's. My main point is that it's balancer that uses gear leverage which has more drag than magnetic suspension. The only reason I used the word "rip off" was to indicate that I understand the principle behind the balancer.
I haven't said and should have that there very well may be a problem with the Top Flite balancer. I'm not claiming there isn't. But it could be people are getting worked up over the fact that a magnetic balancer will reveal an even smaller out-of-balance condition than a Dubro balancer will. If that's what's going on it's a good thing, not a bad thing.
