Re: Models made in the shed

Hi it's basically 4 cams pulling strings and a 12v wiper motor that I had to gear down and put speed control in to go slow as possible, but still fast, so operates with a timer.

Re: Pussy Shooter, Hayden Manufacturing, 1930,

Fantastic help! I'm completely missing the main coin start part. I can see in your picture it's a steel flat bar pivoted by a split pin connected to the curved brass coin start lever. Are these two pieces independent? It looks like the coin pushes the brass curved piece. This also lifts a round pin ...

Re: Pussy Shooter, Hayden Manufacturing, 1930,

Thanks, these pictures have been a great help. I think I'm there with the mech - just one more piece to figure out: When the cats are all shot down, a bar on the right hand side drops. This bar connects to a long bent flat bar that runs to the coin slot bottom and somehow releases the winning coin (...

Re: Pussy Shooter, Hayden Manufacturing, 1930,

Great, could you take a picture of the gun mount. I have a coil spring, large, that looks like it fixes to the circular gun mount at the bottom, and the underside of the ball release has a sprung clip. Details of what operates this would be great.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Pussy Shooter, Hayden Manufacturing, 1930,

Are these pictures from a Hayden machine or a different model, as my parts look very different from your posted pictures?
If you could send more pictures that would be good.
I do have the air pump part and close matching coin entry but the rest looks very different.
Thanks.

Pussy Shooter, Haydon Manufacturing, 1930,

Pussy Shooter, Hayden Manufacturing, 1930.

I have the parts for this machine mech but only this picture.
I'm trying to put it together. Can anyone help with mech pictures from other angles, patent drawings or any other useful info, links etc.

Thanks and happy searching for the New Year.
