Okay, so I have a nice working Clean Sweep crane game but the claw seems weak. Yes, I do realize its got an adjustment knob and its supposed to be in the favor of operator to make money.. However, with the claw strength cranked up all the way it still seems to have trouble lifting the prizes out. If I turn the knob the other way I doubt it could pick up a crumpled up tissue!


The claw mechanism works fine, smooth operation really. I'm guessing it runs on 12 volts? I did measure the voltage at the power supply and its like 11.3


Also, the string on mine is starting to fray. Any good recommendations for replacement?
 
if that uses a regular switcher for power, id say thats weak man.. i could see that causing issues if the ps is lazy and the claw coil is actually 12vdc operated..
