hi guys after a big long think im going to keep my Refine 870 vinyl cutter, but i really need to purchase a 9 pin lead to connect to pc.
ive tried ringing singzworld and just keep getting wrong numbers or no answer. does anyone have a correct to date phone number for them? or does anyone know where i can purchase correct leads and have a phone number for such supplier as i would rather speak face to face.
any help?
Dave
ps, ive now got to learn how to use signblazer as im so use to silhouette software its going to be difficult....

I have one here and it does not work. I borrowed a cable of Arco and his worked which made me think I needed a specific type. Maybe mine is broken. Will buy one from ebay and take a chance.

This is where my problems started and why I nearly decided to sell cutter, I have Windows 8 but after lots of faffing around I managed to get it all working with ArKos leads so I know it does work.
I've just purchased a cable off ebay will wait till it arrives on Friday to see if it works.

Im still in hospital at the moment...(4th week!) but I have told the missus to expect you calling round for the leads... not a problem at all. Not sure when Im getting out of here as I got another op next Thursday so there is no hurry for them.

Why not swap your lead with Arko's, he is in hospital so you will be long gone before he finds out LOL
(Hope you are on the mend Arko)
