Guest guest Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 I must say that was more than slightly disappointed to find that my $250.00 Koelbel Isokinator " Classic " arrived packed in a plastic Ziplock sandwhich bag. Albeit the Isokinator " Classic " product is beautifully designed, engineered, and manufactured. Nevertheless, you'd think that for $250.00 or even $450.00 (for the " Green Giant " ), the Koelbel family might throw in an understandable manual in readable English, a " Circuit Training " DVD, and a nice carrying case for such an expensive item. To give the Koelbels credit, it's clear that they have spent a lot of money and effort on their manual, and some slick youtube promotional videos IN GERMAN. It's a pity that such an excellent product falls short on these seemingly minor points. These " minor points " do add up and make a difference considering that supplies his Steel-Bow & Bullworker " Classic " with several understandable manual/wall chart(s) in readable English, 2 Circuit Training DVDs, in a really nice quality carrying case. It's these seemingly " little " touches that really do make all the difference. Now, I have managed to " Kludge " together my own " home-brew " circuit training Isokinator DVD from the Isokinator Youtubes posted by " Bert Muscledesign " and burn my own ISO NTSC DVD to play on my TV. I still find the Koelbel manual almost unreadable. It's clear that it was either translated by a computer or by a non-English speaker. Actually Ro3nn uploaded to our files section an EXCELLENT Isokinator Pocket Exerciser Circuit Training Manual in readable English. The drawings are still a little hard to understand but the manual is actually readable and understandable. Ro3nn also uploaded an excellent IsoKinator Pocket Exerciser Wall Chart with photographs, which REALLy makes a big difference! Between that Manual, the Wall Chart, and Bert Muscledesign's " Home Brew " Youtubes I finally understood the Manual that came with my Isokinator " Classic " .

I solved that problem by going on eBay and searching for a " Small Cordura Nylon Pistol Case " . I found a really nice Small Cordura Nylon Pistol Case for $9.00. Problem solved.
