    B Cube Loader

    This is a real oddball hopper. I've never seen one before.

    I have one. I believe it was something that Rick The Prick made? At least I got mine with a RTP build. They are made out of glued pvc parts and are actually kinda heavy she the capacity. But cool hoppers none the less.

      BrickHaus I'd say his site was hacked, he's got it back up, but a year old. Probably the only backup he had is my guess. It sucks that there are people out there with nothing better to do.

    I was just going to say that's a "one armed bandit", but I see it is in the auction title.

      Its called the "one arm bandit" hopper. Pretty unique design for the time in hopper technology

          Definitely a One Armed Bandit and a later one at that. This one was molded not glued as evidenced by the molded feedneck. I love them for my old Nelson clone markers and fairly easy to load with Guppies. If you are an active player (naturally bounce them around) they feed okay but not the best feeding hopper. Whalers fed better and definitely the original sewer pipe Viewloaders fed the best. I have a couple One Armed Bandits that get staged with my vintage LAPCO markers in particular because they just look right.

          If you are into vintage loaders that eBay listing is a good haul especially if you can get the whole thing for under $100. I have wheeled and dealed One Arm Bandits in the past in the range of $45-$60 and the Indian Springs loaders are super tough and good feeders they are worth another $40-$50 together. The Guppies and the associated holders fairly rare anymore and really were pretty practical and work perfectly with the One Armed Bandits

            I'll admit to winning this because I spite bid after getting massively outbid on the Carter L stock by the same seller.
