Name:Brian
Date:7/27 shit I thought it was the 26th.
Today was also a shit storm.
Problems with lanes:Lane 3 was continuing to get deck jams from what seemed liked double dumping. I took out 3 pins so that now it only has 19 so that it wouldn't have enough to dump on it's self. Seemed to work and ran fine the rest of the night.
Lane 4's ghetto rig broke. Chevy and I made a new less ghetto rig and it kinda works. Chevy is going to work on it tomorrow some more. The tension or something is off on the interlock probe and the pin release lever, cuz once it gets the five pin it just shits pins where ever and when ever. Took pins out so that it had more time to dump into the pin shoots.
That is all.

7/25.10
Name:Danny
Date:7/25/10
Today was kind of a shit storm.
Lane 3 was getting some odd jams, this was due to the pins dropping long before they should. Before the deck was even on the lane. It was indeed a quick fix though, I just adjusted the moving deck cables, they were to loose.
Lane 4, Was my enemy for the night.
The parallel links that connect the spider latch to the interlock probe, well....Broke off I guess? They were not there, nor was the spring to urge it back in the locked position. The pins to hold it all together were also missing. So, I had to ghetto rig some fucked up shit, it works, but it is weird as hell. After this, I discovered that the spider was rotating way to freely, which was causing all kinds of indexing problems....ALL FUCKING KINDS(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) So I tightened the spider latch back onto the spider to help hold it all together.
Tonight was an unpleasant pain in my ass, but all in all.....They are all running once again.

Date: 7/22/10
Problems with lanes: This is an update on lane 8. I came in yesterday morning (the 21st) after leaving the bent bar in the vice all night to discover... It was still all kinds of messed up. So after pulling some back muscles and a couple swear words later...I came up with a strike of genius. and got the bar straight....the lane is a part of our working force....again.
Actions Taken: Bent that bar straight
Things to look out for (finicky lanes):
Ordering:
And Tonight 7/22/10, has been an very good night for our Ladies, everyone worked fine. Although I did have to adjust 7's indexing trip arm, it was bent a little bit, and would sometimes now hit the Torsion Latch. But that is about all...Maybe, 5 stops all night? maybe less, either way, awesome

Date: 7/18/10
Problems with lanes: Don't ask my how, why, with what weapon or in what room, but the moving deck cable came off the Geneva pulley on 8, which in turn caused the moving deck to slide back much further then it ever should. The cables also fell off of the other pulleys on the blah blah blah and messed with a bunch of over stuff....sucked
Actions Taken: Put all the cables back on all the pulleys and yada yada yada.
Things to look out for (finicky lanes):The moving deck not shifting, pins dropping on the lane before the deck even reaches it.
Ordering: Girl scout cookies.....please
Date: 7/20/10
Problem with lanes: Two days, later, and 8 day still not want to behave. Long story short.... When the rake came back to do it's sweep, the screws attaching the rake board to the rake arm on the right side (From bowlers perspective) Came loose. the rake board slide behind the drop of the lane surface and halted it's motion. The machine completed it's cycle with the rake jammed reward. Somehow, this bent a rod going from the rake hook cam to the C clamp, c arm, C whatever the fuck. So, I have been spending all evening trying to get this rod straight. It has been in the vice through out the whole night. I keep taking it out and turning it to get out all the kinks. Just a moment ago, I tried to reattach it, despite the fact it had a little bend in it still,well, no dice. This thing is just not going to work without it being straight. So after a couple of failed attempts to try different methods of straightening it out, I did a lot of drugs, banged a customer on a skee ball machine and left for the evening at 11:30...Just checking if you are still reading this long fucking blog. Anyways, it is back in the vice, yet again. I strongly believe that when it can be straightened out, it shall work and work and work, until 2 days from now when it decides to break in some other off the wall way......And to all a good night.

Things to look out for (finicky lanes): Not much, except for the light on 5. There is a short somewhere as I replaced the bulb a few days ago. Things are running rather smooth. Thanks Danny & Chevy~

Problems with lanes:
Lane 2 - Came into work today and a deck jam had occurred in the 7pin slot. There were also a couple of turret jams.
Lane 5 - There was a deck jam and a turret jam.
Actions Taken:
Unjammed things! For the turret jam on 5, the turret was stuck in between two slots so I moved it to the slot that contained the pin so it would then index as it should.
