Just a tube wouldn't do it though would it? Gravity wouldn't allow the balls to drop at that rate into the marker so would they not have to be force fed in somne way for that to actually work??

Paul.
how about a halo b on top of the 10 foot tube?
Thats one hell of a high rise, wonder when WDP will release the new 'Skyscraper high rise'? Bet it comes in Chrome or pewter to match the other upgrades they sell.

JR and the rest of the wizards used a 10ft tube and a spring mechanism to force feed at 30bps....TTT you must have been too drunk again to remember that bit lol...
This is the new sneaky wdp loader..they gonna shrink it a little bit and but a periscope on the top so back players can look over the top of coke cans..

I'm kind of going off on a tangent, but wouldn't the weight of 10' of balls stacked vertically help it feed faster? In the beginning at least I would imagine it would do that. Of course, if that did work it would feed slower and slower as the stack was depleated.
lol yeah the weight will help it feed faster, which falls to earth quicker a brick or a penny?

Sorry, Paul, left out part of it in my haste to finish my post whilst working (looks nervously over shoulder for boss-unit).
IIRC, there was either a spring pushing down or air was blown in from the top to force the balls down the tube, with one or more 'gates' to stop the lower balls from being crushed. I didn't bother remembering exactly how it worked - especially the 'gates' - because I'm not gonna have to fix one! The long tube was chosen because it guaranteed a smooth, consistent flow of paint, with the air/spring pressure providing the required feed rate.
Now, back to work...
