I am truly thrilled this ended up in good hands. Looks great and loved watching the video of it slinging some paint

I figure I'll be back out in the world and playing come Spring. We'll have to make a meet-up happen and you can take her for a whirl.

Success! Got it up and running and even slung some paint. Seems like a nice shooter. Assuming COVID ever lets up I'll be giving it some field time.
I'm a poor script writer but here's a short shooting video. Couldn't find an elbow so all I could do is cram tubes down its neck, works well enough for the back yard...

Alright. More pushing it is. Don't take no for an answer. Thanks!

Nah the hose size is all the same. I find I have to heat up the hose to get it to easily go onto ram and lpr barbs. Otherwise it takes a lot of effort.

The autocockerparts.com pneumatic hose they sell is nice and flexible stuff

AutoTrracer Pneumatics Help?
My method of dealing with Autocockers has always been to tear all of the pneumatics off and slap on a pump but, in a fit of masochistic optimism, I picked up Junglepeanut's blue AutoTrracer. Putting a pump on an automated conversion seems a bit much so I need to actually figure this out for once. I've spent most of the afternoon tearing it down, cleaning it up, adding a little this & that, and figuring out braided airlines for it. Don't look half bad...
So the question is this: The barbs on the 3-way(TASO), reg(DYE?), and ram(Shocktech?) all look to be different sizes - is microline one-size-fits-all? The micro that I have looks like it will fit the 3-way just fine and the reg with some aggressive pushing, the ram seems a bit much. The other rams that I have rattling around in parts bins look about the same...
Have I done too much mixing and matching? Swap out barbs? Am I trying to be too delicate here?
