82-30/82-70 parts match?

[RonnieO]

How much stuff is interchangable between 30s and 70s? Want to know about the major items, gearboxes/motors, table parts, pits, electrical.
Heard of a center taking out their 30s, like to have idea if it's worth my time to go see what they are selling.

Just about everything in the pit And ball return will match up every thing else is noninterchangible.

As far as the table goes the 042 micro-switches and springs interchange as well as the rod ends (end fittings). As far as the sweep goes, the newer style black sweep will also interchange. There are many other small things as well.

The mechanic can go easily into a '70, not V. V.

I think most of the belts will cross over to the '70, possibly some of the small piece parts like bearings and switches. Depending on the type, some of the motors may even work.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It was pretty hard to get used to the 30s after working on 70s, but I wouldn't go back to 70s. The 30s are very cool to work on... especially when you can leave them unattended because they run so good [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]

I don't believe motor heads are interchangeable. I worked on 8270s with Matsu****a motors, but I'm not sure if the GEs are interchangeable.

A lot (but not all) of the parts that begin with part #000 are considered common parts for the 30 to 90. New carpets from AMF begin with part #090 will work on all AMF automatic pinspotters.
