chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 10:54 am looks like Machine Doubling to me. To much light on these images causing glare, turn that down a notch bud and your pictures will be nicer. Report this Post to the Staff
Dr86 Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 11:01 am I thought Machine Doubling is flat this is more curved, I have tried to turn down the light but no matter what I do it does not work :/ Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 11:03 am I agree machine damage during the strike. You can tell because that area is flat shelf like. Not rounded like the normal devices and the hub doubled devices would show. Note the line in the center showing the flat shelf like line. Report this Post to the Staff
