Re: bin broke

I don't doubt ANYTHING I hear about strange foulups and explosions with these demons...

In 13 years at this, I never had a table shaft break, until we started talking about it in a forum, and the next day, one snapped off right at the side of the batman cam...

Re: bin broke

Batman cam??? The batman cam is on the table itself. The table shaft is in the front end.

Any time I've ever seem a table shaft break they
break at the shuttle cam. In answer to the original question the table may have spotted wood on wood thus causing a jam in the table, check all your cell wires.

Re: bin broke

Ah, the old respot cell wires. I don't miss those at all. If you still have them, shot has it right. Check to make sure all those little suckers are on.

Re: bin broke

Shame on any center that still needs the respot cell wires. If you still do, you need to trash those 5 boards. Getting rid of those wires, just eliminates alot of headaches. If I had 1 chassis problem in the last 10 months, thats alot. The only set ups I get is an occasional out of range, and the stupid bowlers screwing up.

Re: bin broke

Yes, the Batman Cams are a trademark in my center, LOL! It just makes things so easy when training new guys. Just tell 'em "see that batman looking thing here..."

So, when I joined Bowl-Tech, I mentioned it in one of my posts/replies. I'm glad the name has taken off.

We have alot of off-the-wall names for parts in our center.

Re: bin broke

Such as. . .

"Pork Chop"
"Cookies"
"Kidney"
"Zig-Zag Link" or "Lightning Rod"
"Boomerang"

Everyone know these? Any others?

Re: bin broke

Equip:

Please enlighten us on

Pork Chops: [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img]
Cookies: [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img]

We call the sweep telescoping link a "plunger".
The plastic rod on the distrbutor (connecting the carriage to the boomerang) is called "the eyeglasses" in our place.
Then, theres the famous "hula-hoop", obvious for a ring weldment.

There's more, I'll post after a few other guys have posted theirs. [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]

Re: bin broke

Boomerangs: respot cell pivot links at the front of the table

Kidney: The pin guide inside the wheel

Dogbone: the nylon link on the distributor

A$$hole: a bowler

Idiot (or bubblehead): the counter help

Re: bin broke

G-man:

Good name for your boomerangs. Here, we refer to the boomerang being the linear cam follower for the distributor. I like the table boomerangs too. In my place maybe we'll call them mini-boomerangs.

Re: bin broke

Pork Chops: Front Roller Brackets
Thing-a-ma-jig: Parts the pinchaser can't
rememeber the name for

Re: bin broke

What about a pillow pin?
I put a pin between my neck and pindeck if I'm adjusting the respot cels, I have enough problems with other stiff things(I use another pillow then).

Question: what is the difference between the 9 switch and the g switch. Allways nice to look early in the morning at the bad handwriting of the evening mechanic.
No problems anymore with that, got rid of the gps switch.
