My Newest Addition
I have a new find from a Craigslist seller that I got for $40 and a two hour round trip drive this weekend. They advertised it as Umbrella Man but I also see it as Parasol Man on youtube. Looking a bit deeper into the name I come up with National Association GPA.

It needs the usual cleaning and came with a dozen balls. From what I can tell it is working alright but there are two questionable items that may or may not need attention. The first picture has a yellow wire just hanging which I don’t see what or where it attaches to on the left end, if it even should anywhere. The second picture is of the ball payout mechanism. There are 3 upper and 3 lower white plastic pieces. The three upper ones look like they had the ends broken off. In some videos these appear to be hooks to serve an unknown purpose to me so far.

Here are a couple videos form other members with the same cell in different frames.
