Ready for the wall.

Well the cleaning and cabinet making are complete.

My wife and I added a ball return made from 1 1/2" ABS pipe.

It exits the frame and will empty into a hanging basket. Works pretty good on the bench. Hopefully we won't have to open the cabinet to often.

I guess one is not enough. I'm already on the hunt for one to restore.

nice ball return system i was working on something with pvc pipe but couldnt get it to fall thru the piping of 4 diff machines and empty into 1 basket

Very nice, Kingsmen!!! The machine looks great and your ball return mod looks super, too. You might need a bigger bucket, though.

[Kingsmen26]

Thanks. The tin in the picture was for trial on the bench. My wife has a plan for a bigger ball catcher that will hang off a piece wrought (spelling) iron that will be attached to the frame.

Are all the machines on one wall?

[RKnarr01]

no they are on stands the thing is getting enough slope in the tubing to get the balls going fast enough to go past the elbow joint

[luckydog]

if they are on one wall you could drop balls from each machine into a sloped padded trough running the length of the 4 machines.

being on the stand is the problem on a wall you have like 3 feet of height your working with being on a stand i only have like 5 inches max to work with

[Kingsmen26]

I'll ponder your dilema for a bit and see if I can toss you any ideas.

[RKnarr01]

ok thanks dont forget these machines are in a case similar to yours.

Wow, that machine looks great. I can only hope my restorations turn out that good!

Excellent job on the restoration and ball feed mod!
