82-70 not picking up pins
I have a machine that will not pick up a full rack second ball. If I run the table down by hand and close the respot cells it will pick them up without a problem. The respot cells are adjusted right they all pick up the pins right at the top red line. If I run the table down with the cams in the front it still will not pick up the pins, but if I use the cams and stop the table right as the respot cells close and start it back up again they will close tight enough to pick up pins. I can pick up about 4-5 pins any more than that they just slide over the pins. If I tighten the respot rod tight enough to pick up the pins then it will not let them go.

Re: 82-70 not picking up pins
I can't remember for sure, but I believe this happens when one of the springs on the front end break. I think there are 3 of them about a foot long, when one breaks, this will happen.
Anyway, I would check for that

Re: 82-70 not picking up pins
- shorten the main carb-link which is between the 2 & 4 pin. shorten it a turn or two
- shorten the 7/16" bolt which sticks through the end of the sickle finger lookin thing, located above that main carb link thingy.
- look for respot cell that has a bent pivot post, or possibly has a loose or missing screw to it
one or all of the three above should take care of the prob.

Re: 82-70 not picking up pins
Slow down a minute...Your problem does sound like it's in the respot springs. They may look ok, but have gotten weak. Also the triangular metal bracket that the springs attach to may have the hole elongated where it mounts on the respot arm. If that hole is even a little worn out the springs won't pull on it enough to give pressure to lift a full rack. It's worth a second look.Who needs parts, I have duct tape and rubber bands.

Re: 82-70 not picking up pins
Start from square one using the manual except for two changes made by Stahl's school. Remove bellcrank stop bolt and discard. Adjust the pawl so it just clears the shifter link {batman cam} by no more than 1/32 of an inch. Be sure that rod 2594 is not too tight-.010 and no more or slight drag.Yeah but, We've always done it that way.

Re: 82-70 not picking up pins
Check every rod end and nut and bolt that is inovolved in respot action. Look for the any free movement or aything that is too tight. Many times I have checked lanes my mechanic can't fix and found something just not right. But you have to get in and feel things.
