Balls don't feed into shooter

[prunfarm]

Recent purchase from CL. Cleared up some jams, adjusted shooter, retr0bright, and some neverdull (not comletely clean yet). Works better, looks better, but needs help w/ the feeder tray. The balls fall from the feeder tray straight to the payout tray. They bypass the assembly that feeds the shooter. I think that there is a piece missing, but not sure. Anyone w/ a smiliar machine HELP! Hanabi? Knowing that you just got a similar machine maybe you could show pics of that area? Hope the upload of pics works.

Hello

I will try and get a look at that area of my Kyoraku later, I have the door and chrome sections removed at the moment so not in a position to actually test the shooter but I should be able to get pics of those areas in the meantime for you

Okay here are a couple of quick pics, please ignore the dirt, it's awaiting cleaning

it's looking like yours is missing the white plastic lever thingy??

Thanks so much for the pic. Yuppers, looks like I'm missing a piece. Hmmm. Wonder if I could get away w/ just making a plastic 'bridge' w/o that hook. Anyone?

its a guess sincie i dont have that type of machine..

but im wondering if it teters up and down to allow only one ball at a time?

I can take another look at the one on my Kyoraku, but i believe it does only move up and down and that it most likely doesn't even need to be such a complex shape??

It just pulled it off a spindle thingy and it slipped back on easily, at least it did when i was cleaning it and the machine is back together now and shooting just fine

I will try and get it opened up again tonight and take pics of the piece itself, if that is helpful to you

That would be fantastic! I'm trying to make a similar piece w/ fishtank airline tubing (for the spindle) and plastic (for the bridge).

Hello, sorry I only just managed to get the pics sorted for you

I have also managed to capture a very short video of the piece moving

YouTube - Kyoraku Shooter thingy!!

Hope this is helpful
