Big Choice Manual BBTSON MICROPROCESSOR CRANE You have chosen. a crane noted for its dependability and durability. By changing the merchandise mix, setting proper adjustments to create “winning players” and providing a little care and preventive maintenance, this game is constructed to earn well for many years. INSTALLATION On all games, there are certain items that should be checked after shfpment l These are visual inspections which may avoid time consuming service work later. After uncrating, check the following items before plugging your game in: You must remove the wire ties and wooden shipping blocks from the crane Claw mechanism. These items are only used for shipping and should be retained should you choose to move your crane. For normal moves, the transport spring can be connected to the carriage to prevent damage. All wheels on the carriage and boom mechanism should sit squarely on the rails, and they should move freely along the track. There are four “limit” switches on the carriage and boom that should move back and forth easily when the actuator arm is moved. You should hear a clicking noise as the switch makes contact. The crane will not operate properly if any of these switches are out of adjustment. See the following diagrams for full parts explanation. Next, open the front coin door and check the game circuit board that all connectors are properly made and secure. There will be a seperate game board for each crane mechanism located in the bottom below each player station. Drop a quarter through the coin acceptor to check for jams and alignment. The quarter should eject until the machine is plugged in. Plug the game into a 110 volt wall outlet and try again. Your quarter should now move ali the way through the acceptor and start the game. Play the game a couple of times to check for a smooth operation of the coin rejector and crane mechanism. Make sure the game is doing the movements you want. You may have to change the dip switch settings if it is not. There is a power on/off switch on the plug strip located on the power assembly board that must be on for the game to start. Also, the coin select dip switches must be set to the coinage desired for this game to ifork properly. GAME OPERATION Insert the coin in coin slot. The coin light will now go out and the coin lock out coil will release, locking out any more coins until this game is completed. Game versions are explained elsewhere. Move the joystick or push the buttons to position the claw over the prize of your choice. If done skillfully, the claw will retrieve the prize and return it to the prize drop area and release any items won. An adjustment timer will regulate the length of the game play alerting the player with a digital timer that time is about up. The coin lock out coil will now energize and the coin light will light telling the plnyer the crane is ready to accept more coins. IF ANY PROBLEMS SHOULD ARISE, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR, OR CALL BETSON’S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT 1 800 524-2343. HERCHANDlSIK: THE BIG CHOICE A crane is an excellent earning machine - "Long tern, bread ami bWer*‘* It is not a video!! Earnings for any "M&&arxiiser" are the amounta of money you can hang on to after the prizes are paid for.. Therefore, careful attention should be paid to the cost arri quantities of merchardise given Out in ratio to the i ncome. This ratio is referred to as the "Percentage of Payout:' ard compares the cost of prizes to the gross. In a permenant location an ideal percentage should b6 30/35x and what You should strive to obtain. A 33: payorlt is a 50@ prize for $1.50 income, or, a merchandis* cost of $100.00 for a $300.00 income. Uhen the crane falls to a payout of 20% or less the players will not play. "They cannot win!" There must be winners to generate more players. If the crane pays out over 40.5 you will not win the cash receipts of the second or third try to win an item. 'The BIG CHOICE allows yott to let yot~r imagination run free. Xercharxiim!nC is the key to long term profi.ts. Your earning potential depetis on the popularity of the items YOII choose and how well you "flash" them. Items that have proven good earners in one place my. be a "drrd" in others arxi vice versa. The assortment of prizes should be changed regularly with A v:,rlet.y of items to hold your customers' intrest. Try seasonal items or prizes targeted to the type of clllatomers of each location. A them& approach of all bears or all puppy dogs will chnnge- the appenrance of the crane 60 that the player6 will be watching for the next new items to be won. Prices of the prizes should range between 406 *.ni $2.50, but there can be except.ions to this nile. In this price range the variety can be unlimited, just select things that are not too fragile. There are several ways to load the PlG CHOICE. The method IJsF?CI will be deFerdent on the irxiividllal loratinn nlrl the service time available. Another determining factor will be the type of merchandise used. Fxperimentation and clot. accounting will give you the best results for your locztion. The N'IJP LOAD method is a form of hulk 1oadinC. This method is best used when there are no employees in crrnstant attendance, as it does not require as milch 11p keep. A few items, closely related in price, shnuld he packed several* layers deep. The Frjzes cw.n hp piled high for the greatest amount of play thpn jrlst let the players dig away "all day long". An average or medium price of 75~+ will produce a 2930.: payollt. The SPACE LOALl method uses a variety of widely spac4 hiCh line itpms. 'I'he prizes are placed at varying heights fxinl: front. Because of the placement, -8 the items am won, they need to be replaced constantly. Examples of ite= that can be used include: boxed watches, radios, calculators, jewelry, fishing reels, head phones, cameras, an3 pen sets. This method usually produces the greatest income but is the most work. The DISPLAY LOAD method involves more time ard a greater variety and quantity of stock to nrake a more attractive preocntation. You anz in effect setting up a merchandising display as a store would in a show Wirdow. With faces front, place two or thret? levels of larger items arcurrl the perimeter then place similar but smaller items in the center. An example would be .tie crows arourd the outside with small crows in the middle. As an added incentive include several novelty items, such as boxed jewelry, sunglasses or crazy balls, spaced on top arxi in between the principal prizes:, An accurate accounting system is the first step to regulating your payout. Record the income a& the cost of the prizes given out. Fach time the machine is loaded the quantities and item should be recorded on a simple tally sheet that stays with the machine. A master sheet in the office tallies the amounts given out against the money taken in. With these sheets the percentage of payout can IX determined. If you fird that your percentqe is off you can adjust the payout by chan&ng the position nf the prjzes, regulating the potentiometer, and ad.iusting the size of the claw opening. For gocd crane exploitation the claw should "ploy" with the prize; picrtit IIP then drop it. The foilowing adjustment will help: A. Jaws - Can be bent. A greater curvature picks up items better. R.

Loosen screw and turn to regulate jaw opening size in the rest position. 1). Rheostat - Regulates the current flow to claw coil. Clockwise turns down current or weakens coil action. Counter clockwise strengthens the Krabbing action. E. Packing ard Flacement - Expensive items around the perimeter.

  • Wooden Crane from the Time of Wenceslas IV Public Building of The
    Wooden Crane from the Time of Wenceslas IV Public Building of the Replica of the Medieval Crane Based on Illustrations from the Wenceslas IV Bible from 1390 – 1400 Prague Castle 2006 Wooden machines powered by human walk accompany our civilization since time immemorial. Their practical use has been depicted since the time of ancient Rome. Development of these machines is probably connected with development of new scientific disciplines – geometry and mechanics – in ancient Greece. Expansion of using cranes with wheels to walk in came up in the Middle Ages in connection with Gothic architectural style and development of trade. Cranes placed in the crowns of partially built cathedrals used to be dominant features of medieval towns for long decades. Therefore we can often find them in period illustrations in manuscripts, town plans and maps. Since the beginning of the 20th century wooden cranes powered by humans were used to transfer goods in ports and markets. The cage crane from the Wenceslas IV Bible is a unique illustration of a crane suspended on a frontage. The system of its construction proves exceptional technical development of the Prague royal workshop towards the close of the 14th century. For the first time in our modern history it is the aim of our project to make a replica of the cage crane, typical for the territory of Central Europe in the time of the reign of the last of the Luxembourgs. Several replicas of these ingenious machines have been built during recent decades in the world. However they are mainly replicas of newer cranes built by contemporary technologies and tools.

  • Crane, Oregon History
    Crane, Oregon History Crane, once a thriving little city with five restaurants, four hotels, two general merchandise stores, a dance hall, a newspaper, a bank and a movie theater was never rebuilt to its former glory after a series of devastating fires, the last in 1938. The town was at its peak during the time it served as the railhead for the Union Pacific Railroad. The railroad arrived in 1916 to much fanfare from Harney County citizens. The Burns Times Herald reported, “Chief Construction Engineer Young brought the first train in with two coaches and several flat cars filled with excursionists from Ontario, Vale, Juntura, Riverside and other points. As soon as he had disposed of the excursion people, he invited the Harney County people to ride with him, and the train was soon filled. It was necessary to make two trips to and from the scene of the big steam shovel in Crane Creek Gap, to accommodate all.” The railroad was destined for Burns to serve a new sawmill there, and in 1924, the line was completed into Burns. The businesses might have survived to serve the eastern half of the county had the town not be plagued by fires. With the arrival of the railroad, Crane became a thriving business center and permanent buildings started going up. One of the first stores sold groceries and dry goods, and was owned by a Mr. Lee. Later the Hotel Denman was moved in from nearby Harriman. A large store called the Vale Trading Company was established by Mr. Dunlop, of Vale and sold groceries, dry goods and machinery – its slogan was Everything for Everybody.” A high school was built on Crane Creek, and Alice Smith began teaching on October 28, 1901.

  • Crane Technology and Accessories
    Crane Technology Truck, trailer and tracked cranes Extension lengths up to 55 metres and payloads of up to 12 tonnes Böcker crane technology offers you a reliable and adaptable solution whenever you need to safely and efficiently lift large and bulky loads to lofty heights. Besides having extension lengths of up to 55 metres and payloads of up to 12 tonnes, our truck cranes, trailer cranes and tracked cranes are characterised by extremely high safety standards, a comparatively low weight and compact dimensions. For example, it is easy to transport Böcker cranes from one site to the next and set them up without requiring a lot of space. 2 Outstanding crane technology The sky is the limit with Böcker innovations Shortly after founding the company in 1958, the master blacksmith Albert Böcker developed his first innovation, the hydraulic inclined lift. This was later followed by the inclined lift with an elbow section. From then on, it was possible for roofers to transport roof tiles comfortably right up to the apex of the roof. Since then, we have been working constantly to improve our products to match the needs of our customers and have repeatedly set new standards in quality and safety in the area of lifting technology. Pioneer in aluminium crane technology In 1989, Böcker entered crane technology as a pioneer, with the introduction of the first mobile truck crane in aluminium lightweight construction. The manoeuvrability of the space- saving Böcker aluminium cranes make the work in the construction industry a lot easier with their great out-reach. Following on from this, in 1997 we developed the first aluminium trailer crane.
