Does anyone have the new XLI Edge yet? I mean the total machine not just the elevator upgrade. I was looking on the AMF site and saw some pics on it. It looks like they have redesigned the distributor cam. It has a new lateral arm and cam which they call "New EDGE Performance Cam." I would assume that this could be retrofitted to the older 82-70 or 90 distributors but I was wondering if any one has had experience with them (the new cam.)

The indexing cam has not been released yet. The Edge pinwheel system is fantastic. It is one of the best improvemnts I have ever seen....You can get anything in life you want..... If you just help enough other people get what they want.

Yeah I absolutely agree hey, just as with my babies at work, you get them to what seems near as perfect as you can get them, they go from bin pocket to bin pocket smoothly and all seems good, then ya walk away and **BAM** ya get a pile up, very frustrating, all mostly due to the way the pins come off the pin guide rail onto the o pan....AS REQUESTED....The all new and VERY improved "super cool" Pin_Head with super hip shades.....

That is exactly it....its near impossible to have consistent-consistency with pin orientation with the old setup, way too many things can affect it. The new design seems to be consistently more consistent, maintaining immediate pin orientation, good spacing, and quick forward pin movement, which with the old design was difficult to have all three all the time. The distributor cannot go any faster than it does so good pin spacing will eliminate almost all pileup problems if not all of them.

The ones that irritate me are the lanes that don't have any pileup problems except for the random head first pin out of nowhere.

You couldn't be anymore right. That too is the one thing that bugs me the most of the random pin jams that do happen. I have a few lanes that do this repeatedly despite what adjustments I make to the kidney and orientor pan. I have even put new elevator rollers in and done all the checks that I know of.

These kits really improve orientation.
The pinwheel no longer flops around.
I just do not have pin orientation issues any more

Don't have the kits, seems to always happen during open play when people are fast bowling, I bet the new elevator does not have this annoying issue.

When the pins are still coming off the dist.....and the fast open bowlers throw a ball.....and the pins slam into the wheel....this is when you get poor pin transfer from the loose wheel
