Snack a can towers

Post by Style »

Ive got quite a few Snack a can towers, generally I quite like them. The only issue major issue which seems to be a theme with these is the outer ring of the barrel snapping. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Cheers

only fix is to replace barrel. cheapest way is to take it off a spare base. I've got a few for sale, you can get them next weekend.

No thanks. Ive got spare machines and bases. I tend to just strip them down for spares and chuck them when the barrel goes, just wanted to check theres not a simple fix I dont know about.

Hi Style,

Replace with the new one piece Clenport barrells - they will fit Chinese machines. I've done half a dozen so far, works perfectly.

Sounds about right Pete. They are definitely better machines. I tend to replace broken Snack A Can with clemports but I have too many to change them all over.

Hi Pete, Hope you are ok.

Just wondering where you get the new barrels from and how much they are etc.

Cheers mate,

Paul
