Name: Kristin
Date: 5/26

Problems with lanes:

Lane 3 - Not indexing after the second pin is dropped into the turret at times.

Lane 5/6 - Odd thing happened. There were some balls supposedly eaten by the lanes. Upon investigation, the balls were involved in a traffic jam on the ball return, with four or so balls on each side. Just a fluke but I found it entertaining.

Lane 7 - It had a party on it for two hours today, that only bowled maybe an hour and a half. It didn't index after dropping the pins into the deck about 96% of the time.

Actions Taken:

The usual for 3, and clearing for 5/6.

Lane 7 - Indexed the trip lever manually by hand by sitting on the lane the entire bowling period. Tried WD40, didn't work. For some reason, the spring just doesn't depress all the way when the pin is dropped into the 5pin chute. I noticed when dropping the pin in by hand, it would index properly. Maybe it is still somehow the tension in the spring.

Things to look out for (finicky lanes): 7, as usual.

Problems with lanes:

Lane 4 - Turned itself off twice today.

Actions Taken:
Reset it by the breaker button.

Things to look out for (finicky lanes):

Lane 7 wasn't sat today because it wasn't very busy and no one wanted to deal with it not indexing if it wasn't necessary.

Name: Kristin
Date: 5/23

Problems with lanes:
Lane 1 - Occasionally balls wouldn't move when at the top of the ball return, for no discernible reason.

Lane 4 - Went down twice today. Pin stuck in between the shakerboard and the pinwheel and the breaker needed to be reset on both occasions.

Lane 5 - A customer owned ball kept getting stuck in the ball return.

Lane 6 - a 16 lb ball repeatedly became stuck in the ball return.

Lane 7 - The frayed belt that Brian mentioned earlier became stuck. It also has trouble indexing after the pins drop into the deck.

Actions Taken:
The usual methods for lanes 1-6.

Lane 7 - Replaced the belt with Damon. It was running smoothly for a time and then the indexing problem became more frequent.

Things to look out for (finicky lanes):
Ball problems on the various lanes, maybe.

Lane 7 - The interlocking probe is getting stuck on the fingers so the lane won't turn. Watch out for that in the future.
