    Default KAN-LESS Shark and backflow screw

    I have just completed a restore on my Kan-less Shark. I have observed a secret screw which you can turn to prevent ball flow from an overflow area. I have found that enough over flow causes the blocking device to to lift and still allow a small amount of ball flow anyway. Does any one have any idea what this screw was truly meant to do. I have seen a you tube video that pointed it out, but no real confirmation of its purpose. Currently I keep the screw in the "non-block" position

    I really like these KAN-LESS machines. While the mechanics and solenoids create a lot of overhead functional wise it seems worth it. I only had to replace one micro switch during this restore.

    You deserve a medal for this restoration and I sent you one. Kind of corny but that's what you get on this forum.

    The guy above the center feature amuses me.
    Is that a shark cage? Then why is the man outside of the cage?
    Is it a door? Then why spear the shark? Just go in the door.

    I have no idea what that adjustment screw does. Sorry, I've never had one of those machines.

    He is in the cage fighting back sharks. And by the looks of it, he needs to because that is the wrong cage for those sharks (bars are too far apart). Still pretty funny though.

    Also I have no clue what that screw does. I haven't owned a Kan-less yet.

    100 machines and counting...

    I think this has to go to the judges. I think he is clearly outside of the cage (cage is behind him) and debatedly; he stripped down to the nude, for no good reason, to spear menacing fish.

    Will anyone arbitrate this PT dispute?

    I do believe he Is outside the cage..But I don't think he is nude, I think he is actually wearing old fashioned long underwear..the kind with the flap in the back!! And possibly a motorcycle helmet??

    I see pieces of bar by diver's knee and shoulder. It looks like he is passing through the cage like a ghost - inside and outside the cage at the same time. Kinda creepy like.....

    .... another possibility could be that the cage is broken....

    ... and the hapless diver has <gasp> impaled himself on the broken bars.
