Re: Cushion box
Are you talking about part # 000-022-794 ?? Thats the number for a right hand machine. I like Vantage urethane blocks. If your talking about the steel box. #000-022-788 Then I cant help you much. Never have much trouble with mine. Most all my part's come from Stahl's or vantage.Even a old dog can bury a bone

Re: Cushion box
It does sound like the box being referred to is the cushion block box. They do seem to break in bunches... you'll get a couple broken ones in a short time, then nothing for a while, then a few more.
We've had good luck with the Vantage urethane blocks and the steel box mountings. One thing we found that keeps the blocks from wearing is putting a light skin of synthetic grease to the inner surface of the hole in the block. Hasn't shown any signs of damaging the urethane, and protects it from wear.
As for the steel block boxes, not much you can do except keep the bolts tight... if they're loose and the box can move around, you're going to wind up with the box tabs breaking off, or the bolts shearing off in the sideplate.<span style="font-style: italic">Educatio est omnium efficacissima forma rebellionis</span>

Re: Cushion box
We use AMF's also. I change about one a month if that and we're a 64 lane house, they stand up well for us [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]All I want in life is to turn wrenches and climb around pinsetters/pinspotters again :/

Re: Cushion box
I don't know of anyone that's selling a beefed up box. As stated above, if you keep the bolts tight & USE FLAT WASHERS, there aren't many problems with them.
One nice thing about them, when they do break, they're probably the easiest part on the machine to weld.

Re: Cushion box
In the same vein that I defended Vantage distributor cams and cables because they're good, I know firsthand that their 22788 box is crap.
I don't know if it's too thin a gauge or too weak a metal, but a favorite for returns are boxes that have failed prematurely.
I have experienced this myself at centers too.
So, if you're not inclined to change these a lot and do a lot of welding only to have it fail too soon again, buy the real AMF box.

P.S. the Vantage 22794/795 blocks are good though.
