BREAKING NEWS.... BREAKING NEWS....

Okay, remember what I said about missing a slot in the axle? Well, that indeed was the case. It was like the axle was spring loaded so with a lot of force, I was able to push it out far enough to reveal the slot on the axle. A 5/32” E-ring is close enough and it works.

Re-soldered the motor’s wire back on and we’re ready to load mini-M&Ms. Not so fast… everything works backwards – red button clam closes but goes down rather than up. Green, opens the clam but goes up. Nothing goes smoothly. In all my messing around with this loader, I had played out the string on the roller and hadn’t notice it was winding opposite than it should. Took a long time to figure out what had happened, but when I did, I had a really good laugh.

So now we are loading the M&Ms (finally!). At least one repro works now,
