I thought that it was about time that us 30s blokes had a discussion section of our own, so that we could chat about different things to do with 8230s instead of only having "20" [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img] sections for 70s and 90s blokes we now can have our own.
So place eneything to do with 30s here so we can discuss and make suggestions to help our fellow technicians.

I'm seriosly considering starting an anger management thread for a certain Bowltecher. [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]
8230's! I spent my first sixteen years on 30's. Let's not forget the early 30's, 4400's and 5850's. Who could forget solid pinwheels and nylon dist. gears!! And toggles! Respot cell rollers and tracks! K&L circuit! And BALL DOORS!!! They're coming for me now- I have to go. Today we tie-dye.
Seriously, the best 30 was the 6525 backend chassis. Great machines. Did I mention the center carpet roller?

if things aren't going right just use a bigger hammer! DIRT
cobow. Yeah, worked on my share of them. The brake was set as the sweep dropped to 76*. There was a screw adjustment for the brake shoes. Very simple. When you needed to crank a motor, you pulled the lever back and to the side which locked the brake in the release position. It was a good solid motor.

Great machines-nothin you cant fix with a welder and a good supply of bolts and nuts.
Now,if i could just talk my boss into buyin some humpy's-i'd have a lot more time to spend on my comp[uter talkin about it.

(and yes ,kickers really suck sometimes,okay all the time.)
ROFL to the above!
More to the point, have any of you /030 guys tried the distributor belt in place of the leather strap on Sure Piks? (assuming you have sure piks instead of Magic Circles)
How about using your distributor belt on the bottom of Spectrums (assuming any of you have Spectrums).????
Would really like to see a /030. Sounds like they are real beasts! (not any comparison to the "B" A-series, of course!!!)

Can somebody give an explaniton how pins 2, 3, 6 are supposed to be connected. I had a shortcircuit there for the drive motor connection because of water leakage.
I have a distributor that is pulling the belt hard to the left in the nine pin position (and possibly 6 pin), but seems fine in the other spots. As you can see the residue and...
I have several Pin Elevators that I believe to be out of round on my XLi's and was curious if anyone has ever run across this before and is so, what you did about it.
I'm...
