Thanks Dave,
I already have a brother named Dave....I guess I can adopt you.
I use Youtube mainly for selling items. Most of my stuff on Youtube is gone. I made a few, probably a few too many, Popperette videos showing how to wire them up and how they work. Only because when I got my first one there was absolutely nothing out there on the net. I like to show problems that I encounter on my videos so if someone had the same problem, they can figure it out. So whenever I get a machine now, I make a video of things that stumped me. I have footage on the High Hand and the Music Mite. I may throw it out there one day. Actually, I would like to make a video on all my stuff, but it would just be the machines working. I wish I made one for all the shuffle alleys and ball bowlers that I've done. The videos are a good refresher course to myself. A lot of times you encounter the same problem ten years later and you know that you had this before and then you rack your brains trying to remember the "SIMPLE" solution. They always are once you remember.
The Hamilton Beach was something that I thought would be fun for the kids. My wife hates it and wont let me keep it on the kitchen counter. "It's too big and ugly," she exclaims.
"Just like me," I reply.
It's home is under the pinball machine. I bring it up every now and then. Dave they are neat machines, just check the motor brushes. Especially in the center motor on a triple or on a single, just it's one motor. The center motor would be the motor used the most. If you get one, take it apart. No mater how clean it is on the outside there is a lot of hidden grime. Also, change the feet on the bottom. These suckers are heavy and can do some major counter damage if you drag them across.
My Music Mite sold, but to someone in Utah. Looks like thoses shipping boxes can finally get out of my basement.
