Here are my initial comments concerning the system:
The system looks similar in a few ways to the Odeola-Pleyel system. Specifically, the connectors they use for the control tubing, the air motor, and the tracking device. Also, the fact that the system uses pneumatic switching instead of mechanical switching for the Play/Reroll sequence. Another point is the size of the exhauster bellows and the reservoir bellows. They are quite large, and coupled with the fact that the vacuum supply flanges are quite large (their diameter), one can conclude that the system is what is referred to as a 'low-vacuum, high volume' system. What that means is that a lot of air flow is needed for the system to operate efficiently. It's also an indication that the manufacturer understood that the materials they used in the system were not 100% airtight. Put another way, they knew it leaked, and that was okay! (BTW, the Standard mechanism -which was by far the most popular system ever made- is also a low-vacuum, high volume system.) I can also surmise that the valves and pouches in the stack are relatively large -like the secondary valves and pouches in the Standard. All-and-all, it looks like a straightforward, and reliable system that should work nicely when restored. |

Since "Player-Care" is an internet business, I prefer that we correspond via E-Mail (click here to fill out the 'Request Form'). However, if I'm not in the middle of some other activity, you can reach me at 732-840-8787. But please understand that during the hours from 8AM-5PM EST (Mon-Sat), I'm generally quite busy. So, I probably won't answer the phone. If you get the answering machine, please leave a detailed message stating the reason for your call. Also, repeat your name and phone number clearly and distinctly. By necessity, I prioritize everything in my life. And, if you call and just leave your name and number, and ask me to call you back, it might be a day or two before I return your call. Why? Because I don't know why you want me to call and I might not be prepared to assist you in an effective and efficient manner. If you leave me an E-Mail address (which I prefer), spell it out phonetically. The more you do to help me, the more I can help you in return. Don't rush. You have four minutes to record your message. |
