Problems with lanes:Lane 2. A bolt to the triangle panel on the left side broke. This caused the rake to get stuck on the deck and then make the motor start to smoke. Wasn't sure what was up at first. Tried to moved the rake, broke the rake, taped the rake back together. Then saw the real problem. Lifted the rake support arm and that made the rake hit the light and make the light explode all over the lane. Cleaned it up replaced the bolt and it seems to run fine. May want to check lane three and two for broken glass.

I came in briefly to take a look into our machines that were down, 2 and 4.
2's problem is pretty big, and I mean that totally. A big solid bar as snapped. This piece was not designed to break. So the only option I can think of would be welding. I have a consolation with a local father, son welding team tomorrow to look at it.
4's problem apparently was that it was not triggering, the boys changed the solenoid, but, turns out we don;t have anymore machine noids, only skeeball ones. So, I ordered a couple and they should be here soon.
So we MIGHT be able to get 2 up tomorrow. 4 is still going to take a couple of days. Sorry for all the problems with the lanes in my absence. I really tried to make sure they were in better shape, but, they do have a mind of their own.
I am dopped up on prescription meds that a got from the doctor yesterday for my Influenza which i so luckily caught while on my vacation...I'm am going to go sleeeeep

Problems with lanes:
Lane 4 is totally having problems. Kept resetting continually. Thought it may be the reset button being stuck. Undid some wires, stopped the resetting but then wouldn't register any balls. Redid the wiring. Then the turret started to get stuck after dropping the 5 pin. would drop but then won't/can't index. Literally will not move. didn't want to force it. That is when I stopped.

The lanes ran fine tonight, really fine, actually. BUT, close to the end of the night, the bottom left hand guide roller for lane 3's ball wheel belt broke. Which it can not run successfully with it being, well, all broken. I am going to try and maybe ghetto rig something during my brunch shift tomorrow. But, I believe I have used up all our junker parts for this kind of thing already. So, it just might have to be done until we get that part in, which I just ordered. I assume it will be here by Tuesday. Bad timing with tomorrow being Saturday, I am sorry about that, but these machines have minds of their own.
