Lane 3

Name:Kristin

Date:5/16

Problems with lanes:

Lane 3 - The ball wheel belt slipped off lane 3. The belt that moves the shakerboard also slipped off, three times last night (once with the the belt and twice after that.)

Actions Taken:

Slipped the belts back on and checked the tension.

Things to look out for (finicky lanes):

They should be fine but, keep an eye out.

Ordering: It may be a good idea to get an extra belt for the ball wheels. The one on 3 looks worse for the wear.

Mostly fine

Name:Kristin

Date: 5/12

Problems with lanes:

Lane 4 - Once again needed to have the breaker button reset.

Lane 7 - Didn't trip the index lever for the 10 pin or the 7 pin at times. Also a few lightweight balls became stuck.

Actions Taken:

Lane 4 - reset the breaker.

Lane 7 - Unstuck the balls, helped the lever along.

Things to look out for (finicky lanes):

More of the same from both.

Lane troubles

Name:Kristin

Date:5/9

Problems with lanes:

Lane 6 - When I arrived at 6pm, I was informed that a pin was stuck between the ball wheel and the shakerboard. Cara unstuck it but noticed that the ball wheel was very very shaky, almost violently so. We didn't seat it for the rest of the night. The ball wheel acts as though half of it is somehow off track?

Lane 7 - Again, the pin guide at the end of the cross conveyor is somehow loosening both nuts on the bolts that hold the guide on. The nut on the bolt I replaced the other night somehow fell off, though it was perfectly tightened the other night. Something is unscrewing them.

Actions Taken:

Lane 6 - Searched and did not find a missing spring or a loose spring.

Lane 7 - Tightened the bolts as much as possible.

Things to look out for (finicky lanes):

Lane 7 - Deck jams and pins everywhere. What could be causing the bolts to unscrew themselves? The locking rings don't do their jobs.

Ordering:

We need to order a new lightbulb for the 2nd frame light for lane 5.

Lane 7

Name:Kristin

Date:5/7

Problems with lanes:

The pin guide on the cross conveyor for lane 7 keeps loosening itself. I would tighten the nut as needed.

Actions Taken:

I tightened the nuts, and actually replaced one bolt/nut. The other is stripped so I cannot remove it or reinforce it with another nut. Let's take some bolt cutter to it.

Things to look out for (finicky lanes):

The loosening of the nut and random deck jacks because of it.

Name:Kristin

Date: 5/4

Problems with lanes:

Lane 2 - Had a deck jam today which was odd.

Lane 7 - It was sticking in various places, as in not engaging properly and the turret.

Actions Taken:

Lane 2 - removed pins.

Lane 7 - WD-40'd the engaging mechanism and tightened/loosened tension spring on indexing trip lever as necessary.

Things to look out for (finicky lanes):

Watch out for 7 and maybe 2, just in case.

Lane 7

Name:Kristin

Date: 5/1

Problems with lanes:

Lane 7 - I think the spring on the indexing trip lever is going out. 7 kept skipping pins and then, would get stuck too tight and keep indexing without pins in the turret.

Actions Taken:

Lane 3 - I noticed that the pin that usually causes the deck jams on the lane was able to do so because it would fall through the hole that was on the side of the pin cup/chute. I duct taped the hole and the pin didn't fall onto the deck or cause a jam for the rest of the night. Of course, the cup should probably just be replaced as the tape won't last forever but yay for temporary fixes!

Lane 7 - I tightened and loosened the nuts as necessary try and balance it out.

Things to look out for (finicky lanes):

Lane 7 is now having deck jams because of the weird turret action. woo.
