I messed around with this thing for months. Then I figured our there is a chamber within a chamber and a mouse nest inside that. It is louder than my 3-1/2 magnum 12gauge!
Update: I could not get it to cycle. Turns out a mud wasp made a home. It now cycles somewhat on shop air. I have the regulator BMWSYC suggested. We'll need to dig deeper to find out if it is a M3 or M4. Expect some banging to happen soon.
This one is pre-computer controlled. It was in a barn for 20 years before this weekend. The guy got it from another barn where he found it. I'm guessing 70s vintage???
Neat picture. thanks. The front cup was to hold a container that contains calcium carbonate or something. There was a drip pot that mounted on top. a few drops produced some gas that filled the chamber, then Boom! This does not have that though.
Unfortunately I have to say it will probably open it up at the seams. Construction is very light. However, I can see a heavy piece of pipe in the corner of the shop...
I did some reading and I believe you are correct. I'm going to get the adjustable regulator you suggested. My hope was that I could have a self contained unit without the hose and 20lb tank trailing.
I will be at Fleet Farm at 0800 when they open in the morning. Thank you! Did they run off the gas grill tanks? I wonder if they could run off the camping size bottles without a regulator? Easier to handle around the camp site.
I acquired a bird banger today. I believe it is propane powered. The company that made it is Reed-Joseph and is still in business. Remnants of the sticker are still there. I'll be calling Monday for a regulator or to find the operating psi. Here are the manufacturer's operating instructions...
