Wow, this thing is beautiful!

Is the inlet on the bottom 3/4

This is one of the first of the R-50 production line.

Very interesting piece of equipment. Had no idea skinner made these. I like how it keeps the stream from going too far

I grew up with sprinklers that were above ground as we did not have the popups like is common now days. I like watching multiple sprinklers all at the same time like this. I would sit watching them all day long and go around the house checking to see if one has stopped as I continued to just watch them perform. Thank you for sharing this video.

I have a couple of newer models similar but with the brass arm. I have not tested them yet and is still to come on my page when the weather warms up. Most of the newer ones now are PJ arms. Thank you for sharing this one.

I am envious of your 211 and then to see how quickly it moves which surprised me. Wish I had one. Thank you for sharing.

I literally could watch these all day long. Thank you for sharing.

I like the timing on the model 25PJ. I have not seen one of these canister style models since my fathers yard with the full circle models with this style canister. I would repair them as necessary. Thank you for sharing this video.

I like the arm timing on this Lawn Genie better than the Rain Bird. Thank you for sharing it.

I am not a fan of rotors, as I prefer the impact sprinklers. I am glad you shared it with us.

I am not familiar with the lawn genie models. I like the way this one works. Thank you for sharing it.

Rain Bird sprinklers are pretty hard to beat even with all of the copy cat models out there. Thank you for sharing.

Yes I enjoy watching these videos, and just a suggestion that you put the words impact sprinkler in your title so I can find them as I am always searching for impact sprinkler videos and I noticed that if I do not put it in my videos they do not show up in my search. Thank you for sharing your neighbors sprinkler.

I want to get one of these eventually when they do not cost a fortune. Right now the sources I have found them at extremely high prices. These are really neat sprinklers and I want to add one to my sprinkler collection, and test it out. thank you for sharing.

These are amazing sprinklers! I have seen the 7 and 9 but never the 10. That's a nice find.

4 months and only 80 views? And Three likes come on RUclips 😂

You should do an updated version of this mystery sprinkler

The Rocker Jets are very nice heads. The 503’s are the most temperamental of all the models. I have some that are slow in one direction and some that are normal and some that Will barely work one way. I believe it has to do with the castings and machining and the 503 has tighter tolerances than the 512 or 522. You can definitely tune them by tweaking the striker area of the nozzle but they are fragile and since they are very old by now, they break easily and they don’t braze back together very well as it hard to get the alignment correct. Very neat head and the 512’s work flawlessly most of the time.

Really nice sprinkler. What state are you in? I’m in Arizona and that style of house in the background with the roof AC looks familiar.

What an incredible video. This is an amazing sprinkler. Very rare. A true museum piece. Thanks for sharing it!

That's a really cool 180-degree sprinkler I've never seen anything like it before nice vid

Very envious of your 211! Great video!

Absolutely love these. Thanks for the video.

This is a great video showing how the Rain Jet sprinklers worked (I like that the camera shutter speed, interacting with the pulsation of the sprinkler, makes it look like the sprinkler is pulling water in, the farther you get from the sprinkler). This is a "parkway" or "strip" model, hence the reason it shoots water mostly in two opposite directions. Its spray pattern at full force is supposed to be five feet by 40 feet (20 feet in both directions).

I just picked one of these up today. However it's a little newer than yours, it has the newer style trips and trip collars. However it didn't come with a nozzle but I have some laying around that I can use.

DaSamNudge had one of these except it was a 1300H

is that a 1" input sprinkler? I believe my 205 is a 1 1/4" input, which has an adapter to 2", then a camlock adapter was fitted on it. Mine however needs bearings in the drive arm, it short strokes and does not hit the stream like its supposed to, causing the arm to stop moving.

i wish i was good with machining. I'd like to take one of these and mod it to be fast reverse. I figure i'd make some kind of trip mechanism that holds the drive arm in place when its tripped so it shoots water to the side creating kinetic energy. Now when it reaches the left stop it would disable the mechanism and the arm could move freely driving it forward. Its just an idea i had. Although modding one of these would probably be a no no to the collectors, As these are super rare and alot of people like to keep them original. Did u guys know rainbird made a #65 impact that was fast reverse? It basically was like a prototype, kind of like the first impact sprinkler to ever been made. Except it was PC and it had a deflector that redirected a stream to reverse it back. Kind of like the nelson big guns.

I don't believe i've ever seen one of these before. Not that i can remember, even as a child. But it is cool to watch. Ever heard of H-L-Gee rotors? I was selling a laptop to a guy on FB and i turned down his road and i saw a underground system with some of those rotors by that company. They were dual nozzle rotors, and i think they turned backwards? its been awhile since i've seen them though. i have a video on my channel of them though.

That is an amazing sprinkler. Great video!

Sweetness!!!

quaility and coverage is far superior than anything made today

first time I've ever seen one of those

Actually sold a few of these way back when.

Can you tell me a little more about what your water pressure and GPM is? And what the GPM of these particular sprinkler heads are? Trying to get an idea of how many heads I can run at a time.

finally a black one!

Nice system Drew, do you prefer anti siphon valves or underground ones?

Nice sprinklers

That last one is like a woodpecker

How can you run all at the same time ,do you have a pump ?

Are the bearings broken at the bottom or is it supposed to do that?

I dislike the short range for the 1.5 gpm nozzle, and I dislike the wiper seals on these and the fact water tends to leak from the sides of the nozzle as seen in the video. I think the PGM/SRM was a better rotor when it came to the nozzles though not good quality.

Modesto Junior College has one of these still going in the quad lawn but it doesn’t have the slit nozzle.

looking forward to more sprinkler videos

That's cool. A small version of the well known SR100. I have one but it needs a new nozzle and trip collars. Also it seems to have a slower stroke rate when reversing than going forward. Too bad buckner didn't make one that was fast reverse

I have a 512 that is fully restored. It looks brand new

I wish I had one of these. I have the Gilmour rocker jet, but it throws lots of water outside the set area, and seems to only been in production for a few months unfortunately. Nice video.

This is a stationary spray ?

Is rain jet the company or the name of the product?
