You will have to cut me some slack as I'm "NEW" to the game so I may not correctly name the right parts here :p
On my shift tonight , I saw a machine just starting to do a pile-up , So up I went to have a look , The distributor feeder arm would not travel out to feed Pins 1-3 , So it was piling up on the 4-6 pin area , Never seen it before , The Head Mech was at the back end lanes with a table wiring problem , So I was on my own [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img]
First guess was the telescoping tubes needed lubing , Tried that but no go , Had to resort to manual pin loading as we were flat out with league bowling

Had enough of that after 5 mins & was worried that I'd get another TC Bell , So had a good look & saw the long spring that fits behind the large nylon distributor Cam wheel had broken , It goes up towards the front end of the arm ( linear spring )
Was able to bend a hook into what was left of the spring & "Jerry Rig " it to run OK .
Spoke to the Head Mech about it & he said we have had Lots of them break in the last few weeks [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img]
They are genuine OEM AMF linear springs , Any Idea's or a Non-Genuine job that may be better ?
Thanks in Advance .
