Phase III Sphere Lifter

[arbycoffee]

I decided to work on my "Phase III Sphere Lifter" which is on the same vane as "Phase II Sphere Lifter". Other than using a steel frame. The funnel will hold back the extra Spheres that are in use. I think a wider funnel would hold more Sphere overage. I used Velcro to hold the tube upright against the back cover, and the spring tube holder on the frame to hold the spring tube. It works pretty flawless as set up. I am using about 1,500 Spheres to run this, in a bonus rounds it works well, I haven't had bonus rounds back to back yet to see how it handles that with only 1,500 Spheres.

I put it on my "Red Prototype" Spider Man 2 NEO. Four speaker full stereo sound.

This machine came from Japan wrap in a double layer of bubble wrap put in a cardboard box the size of the machine with some foam peanuts filling the open spaces. tape crisscrossed over the glass. What you see is how the machine arrived. All I did was dust and pull off the tape. I mounted it and added the transformer with wiring.

Now it was wrapped and taken to the Japanese post office, than airport, loaded on plane, flew the O'Hare Airport, off loaded, moved to Customs and checked, load back to air services, than on a plane, flew to Cedar Rapids Iowa, off loaded to post office trucks, hauled to post office, checked in and processed, loaded on carrier truck, delivered to me.

NO DAMAGE.

Put the same machine in a larger box (200 lbs. rated double wall) with 2" of foam all around it. Glue all the flaps closed, fully tape all edges closed, mark with stickers "high value, over weight, this end up, and electronics". Wrap the machine in skid wrap twice with three layers of card board in front of glass. Than wrap that in four layers of bubble wrap and put in box. peanuts in all the open spaces.

Now give it to UPS, FedEx and the damn fools use it as a battering ram.

This is one kick azz machine, the red does it just right.

That enough fun for me for awhile, back to the grind.
