  1. It's still resetting and you put a brand new power supply in it?? Power supply's when bad still give out power they just drop in and out and they dropping is what cause machine to reset..
  2. Power supply is bad and basicly it is shutting power on and off because voltage is dropping. And it's doing its "boot up" movements every time it gets turned back on. 90% of crane repairs are the power supply's as its a failing part like a light bulb.

  4. There where a lot of operators in your area on BVR.. Solon, the snaps,and a few others.. I joined this forum a long time ago but it wasnt so active back then.. It seems i come to these message boards in waves,, i would post for a while and then i would get bored with it and then come back a few months later and they would be going a whole different direction.. meaning by that a lot of the newbies where being swayed down a different path than we where talking about months before.. I remember a Uturn guy was on the yahoo board and everybody was saying "where do i send the check?" and i commented i thought it was a fad and a ripoff and no veteran vendor would touch it for a reason.. I posted about northwestern and oak etc.. It went back and forth and he ran away and it got quiet after a while.. I got bored and decided to vend for a while instead of talking about it so much and cleaned out the warehouse and located all my old equipment... then i came back a few months later and everybody was ready to send in their retirement for some Altoids machines.. Same thing all over again.. but i enjoy it,,i get bored talking about vending with people that "just dont get me" and how i get excited about getting fast return in quarters and locating etc.. My friends (outside of vending) would rather spend their days watching tv or some other hobby..It seems my hobby is my job!!! and you gotta love that!! ron
  5. Are you in some way affiliated with him Steve?? It was a long time ago and i didn't know of you back then. A really intelligent poster and had long winded posts but was always on the defensive it seemed and thought we where always talking about him or bad mouthing his promotion. cant remember all the details but it made the forum exciting for a while, used to love logging in and seeing the banter. ron
  6. NO! that was so funny though!! Glen is such a clown!! loved that shirt! LMAO!! ron
  7. I have seen those machines on craigslist for sale really cheap.. Its funny,back then when that Latimore Spears guy was raking over the Yahoo message boards we ran him off when we started talking about it being a "pie in the sky " promotion.. I wonder what ever happened to this "gotta do it right now or you will be left behind" promotion guy and his company? ron
  8. I actually still do have one left for sale..it messed up and didn't work and i never tried to fix it..i just picked it up and its been in the corner of my shop ever since..$250 and its yours.. not much to them actually ,,just two longs screws up the back and they turn making the fingers slide up and down ..just quick look at it working,never studied it much...ron
  9. reviving old threads,,i havent heard about massage chairs in a LONG time. I bought some direct from china a few years ago for 250 brand new .. i put them out in a couple oil change/car wash places and they did decent..couldnt get malls or airports they where all taken..I ended up selling on craigslist to a lady that had a nail shop for 300 each! my wife went there and they still had them.. ron
  10. how would the machine know when it was in home position to release the claw then?? i do have cranes with only left and front home prox switches and they work fine,,but I've had a occasion when the joystick would get stuck and it would continually go to say right and the motor would just spin and spin until time ran out because it never knew it was all the way there.. I do know guan shin used to sell a "universal" crane board kit,,you could buy entire gantry, board etc for 250 to build your own crane...i order 2 and rebuilt two Macrown cranes i got that where junk, i had bought them as samples.. ron

  12. I have rigged up a lot of different type cranes to accept the feiloli board and its a big pain...i would order the gantry,wires and board from feiloli for about 300 and then put them in some chinese cranes or broken down cranes i picked up at auctions for free.... the problems i had with running one board on another cranes controls where speed.. I don't think any two cranes use same speed motors... for example look at a toy soldier operating,, when you move joystick the gantry jerks and jumps because the motors are so fast...then look at a toy chest and its a lot slower...so when i put board from toy chest into a toy soldier it gets wild... you can move crane around but when you push drop button and the little music sounds like a bomb dropping it will go all the way and give a error code because it thinkgs the down switch is broken because it timed out.. so when i switch a machine over i have to swap gantry and motherboard so they match speeds with program.. sounds like you are working on some antique cranes so it might not be the case, i can't wait to you get this all figured out so i can just call you and order the "dog cow master crane controller"!!! ron.. ps..oh yeah,, can you hack the music chip on the cranes?? i had a guy that was gonna do this for me but he dropped the ball.. i wanna be able to change the eprom out with the seasons or plush,,like christmas music at christmas, halloween music(like vincent price laughing), or themed music for different themed plush..
  13. good job big red,,your growing and those are strong numbers really if they are gum balls .. I noticed you said pushpins on a map,,i have big one hanging in my office,,can't use pushpins ,,i use color topped straight pins ,,have a color code of yellow for a crane,blue for a rack, green for both(cause you mix those 2 together you get green..lol). red for double etc... I don't have just a city map as I'm in middle of nowhere but state maps of ky,tn,mo etc..just bought he big maps at walmart and cut the states out and stapled them to my wall in my office like big puzzle.. I also have them on microsoft streets and trips and that makes it real easy to see on my computer..i drop push pins right on locations exact cordinance while I'm in van..zoom out and you can see them all and how they are on map just like office.
