Two days ago, the New Spanker Machine with the external controller arrived and I tested it right away. My test result: The external controller works perfectly well as promised.
The controller has to be plugged into the mains via 12 V Adapter as with the old KER. A second cable connects the controller with Spanker Machine. The controller is switched on and off with a separate touch switch. The three features (Continuous running, random operation, timer setting) should be selected before touching the on/off switch. If once in operation you use the on/off switch for stop and go. Assuming you are presenting your bottom laying prone on a bed or bench, you don’t have to get up anymore except if you want to change the power setting.
Naturally – if you get new capabilities of any machine – you think about additional features. My wish would be a fourth feature: slowing down the beater. Presently we get about 40 spanks per minute. If we use the timer selector additionally as a selector for various speeds 10/20/30/40 beats per minute, I would be quite happy.
Ok, let’s be reasonable! J The new controller is a great improvement of Spanker Machine. Having it running continuously was on the wish list of all users who hated the 5 minutes limit. The random feature is the icing on the cake, a real gift for all those who want to experience the closest they will come with a machine to the feeling of an OTK session.
Along with
the new Spanker Machine comes a manual that contains a few important warnings:
- Don’t use implements heavier than 120 g. The machine won’t be damaged, but it will lose efficiency with reduced acceleration.
- Don’t let the beater routinely hit the stopper with full force first. The implement must hit your BOTTOM FIRST. If you let it hit the stopper first, the housing may get damaged eventually.
- NEW: Don’t let Spanker Machine run on “Continuous” with power settings higher than 7.
I am going to ask the vendor for advice how to proceed if somebody wants a real thrashing on “continuous”. Perhaps he/she should use the random feature. Due to the relatively frequent interruptions, it may be allowed to use random with strength settings higher than 7.
I firmly believe that being independent from technicalities we may enjoy sessions with this improved machine much more than before.
As I have mentioned before, you can use the controller with the old KER-3000, if you switch the built in timer on and use strong tape to stop the timer from running down. Then the external controller takes over and bypasses the built in controls.
