I have MAGIC TRIANGLES with 5-boards, self-scoring.
Has been covered in previous threads, I'm sure, but am too lazy to wade through them.
I've got a machine (a favorite of mine, as soon as we fix one problem, it develops another. What a bastard of an 82/70 it is! )
The one presently is continuous cycle. The mercury switch does not work. Display screwes up (strike "X" on 1st ball, etc.)
but I have no spare chassiseses.
The spare Combo motor will not budge the sweep, the original will not stop running.
Remember, we do not have the "hello, sweep is at 0degerees, you moron," chassis and switch. Consequently, after the sweep cam dropped below acceptance level, the table would respond as it is expected to.
So, I babysat this jerk of a machine all night, switching off sweep until ball was thrown, then switching off sweep when cycle was finished.
I think the root of the problem is the "coasting motor" because after I shut it off, the sweep would slowly cruise to a stop. It sometimes dropped after circuit cut a good 3" or so!
I guess the question is, what to do with "coasting" motors and/or gearboxes.
I AM NOT babysitting this machine tomorrow (today?) night.
Thank you, in advance, except for this motor, which I will never be able to keep up with.
