Spyder Compact 2000 Java Edition Breakdown
Im trying to find info about the rearmost (valve?) spring on my Sl-68 II (pre-09). Any measurments of the length, I.D/O.D or spring rate/weight would be helpful. Trying to rebuild and troubleshoot.
I have of these, but the barrel seems to be longer. Serial number 0401
There were several barrel sizes available. You have an early production marker! Thanks for watching!
What’s the point of changing the orange rubber ? What does it do ?
The orange rubber is the ball latch. It keeps paintballs from rolling down the barrel. Thank you for watching!
@@GeneralPaintballMuseum how often do you have to change it ? Let’s say I have 2 groups of people a week playing
i had the lower one when i was a kid not that exact one but still
my case was the later edition
That is awesome, thank you for watching!
@@GeneralPaintballMuseum honestly i just got a 98 custom for a steal on ebay 35 bucks
MUSEUM ?😳? That's not how you should speak to people my friend 😂
This marker being produced in 1986, in paintball years it belongs in the museum collection! Haha Thanks for watching!
@@GeneralPaintballMuseum Oh, you're not talking to me, but my SMG ? I'm not sure if that makes it any better 😏 😂
Well done, excellent video, in process of doing my first rebuild. Thank You.
Thank you for your support!
I was one of the original Rangers and played along side of some really great players. I’m glad to see the tank is going to good hands. It truly was an amazing creation even by today’s standards. Seems like a lifetime ago we were running and gunning along side it. Looking forward to seeing it back in action. Thanks…. Ranger #7 Doc
That is awesome! It really is a masterpiece, tons of hard work went into this tank! Thanks for your support! We will add updates as they are available.
Very cool piece of history. I was always happy to play with them and against them!
Awesome
Wow!
This channel is so cool. Long live the tippmann
Glad you enjoy it!
This made my day. Jay from PB Sports is a hell of a guy. I'm glad he's been able to contribute so much. He's kept many of us Angel fans up and running for two and a half decades now. He's a good dude. I'm Brandon. I chimed in with the extra donation. I just couldn't stand the thought of another gorgeous piece of paintball history just sitting on a collectors shelf. So when I saw Shawn's generous offer, I figured why not add a few extra bucks and get this into a museum where everybody can enjoy it? I just wanted to make Shawn's offer the obvious choice. Hopefully we can keep small contributions like this coming along. Best of luck. I'm glad it arrived safely and as advertised.
Thank you for your support! Jay is the best
It’s not the sear that makes them full or semi-auto. It’s the trigger.
You know, you are right! Dang it Weltman where were you in the editing room! Haha Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
They were notoriously difficult to chronograph which was convenient as back when these were in use, you normally shot the closest tree and if bark flew off you had to put it back in the car. Chronographs becoming commonplace were the death of these guns. Many of the rental and private SMG 60s that I personally knew of were converted to Tippmann 68 Specials by Tippmann right around 1988/89 after they were banned at most fields due to insurance issues. About that time other semi auto paintball guns were coming out, so the market started to see a wider selection anyways. I remember a game at Wayne's World where a guy had two of these mounted to a "APC" with belts he was able to make with some sort of resin. Surprising they fed better than expected due to the long feed tray he had on both paintball guns. I remember them blowing o-rings during one of his sustained encounters and then they were down the reset of the 24 hour game, but it was a hoot to see.
Fantastic story! Would have love to see that belt fed modification! Thank you for watching!
Mde my job much easier with this! Thanks for the video
Thank you for watching, we appreciate the support!
I wonder why Tippmann post 2010 never opted to recapitolize on this marker .
The technology that these use is well outdated by today’s standards. Also the manufacturing end on how these were built is from my understanding outdated also. It is a cool part of history and has many innovations of that time.
Expensive technology and the fact that other magazine fed .68 caliber paintball guns had made it to the market by then such as the RAP4 T68 likely killed any real interest in an updated version of the SMG60. As mentioned by the videos author, the SMG60s were an interesting take on early rapid fire paintball guns in an age when mostly pump guns ruled the fields. You have to remember that Tippmann wasn't a big company with tons of designers, it was a small company that started making guns mostly from scratch and eventually became the company to beat for a number of years before they became stagnant on one segment of the paintball community to their eventual mediocrity. They were innovators early one, but didn't retain that title through the years. Some would say that they leaned on their previous laurels too much.
Expensive tech ? Forgive me if i am incorrect. Disregarding the orange feeder shells. The operation of the marker led to the pro carbine and 98 variants. As tippmann built up its portfolio from 86 to 2010. The inline blowback is probably the most inexpensive operation to build around a markers operation. Even the 98 can be moddled around sear tripping full auto.
@@magfedacex at the time in 1986 blowbacks were not common and semi automatic was not big yet. However the cost at that time for an SMG 60 was $330+ and was banned because it shot too fast! The later models of Tippmann were still relevant till the late 1990s / early 2000s were the blowbacks were being phased out. Tippmann did have a few potential upgrades to there markers with the Crossovers/ phenoms/ and TiPX. But quickly went back to blowbacks after the company changed hands a few times.
@@GeneralPaintballMuseum i get that. At the time. But we are nearing 40 years later. And we are still using the same technology. Thats why i asked. Post 2010 . Why hasnt tippmann created a modern .68 cal version of this . Lol i feel like everyones input is 1986 not 2010 and beyond haha.
Sell this to me
These had so much potential. If only they'd made a better feedneck design. Also the non reciprocating handle for a rental is frustrating as a ref.
These definitely made maintenance easier compared to the 98 series!
🥱
Is there anyway to make a siphon tank ?
Yes, you can add a macro line fitting to the inside of your tank and a long piece of macro line with a weight added to the end that will allow it to stay at the bottom.
Is this compatible with modern SL68 internals?
Some parts are interchangeable but not all.
What’s the average fps on a autumn day?
With liquid co2 280-320fps
Thank you the. If converted to pcp possibly around 350-385?
@@Jaemon4Evaif converted to HPA it should be around 300fps
@@GeneralPaintballMuseum thank you
The new ones crack by the screw for the barrel. Mine broke entirely in two
So with the changes or iterations of the 68 carb. Would it be safe to say that the 98 was vetted to be the quick replacement marker option ?
I would believe that the Pro Carbine would have been the replacement of the 68 carbine as it was still in production till around 2004.
Can I run the pro carbine on compressed air or only on co2
You can run HPA but it must be high pressure output.
Does this take HPA? Or only co2?
Hello, it was designed for CO2 but will work with HPA, need a output of 800+ psi
@@GeneralPaintballMuseum can you make a video on where the velocity adjuster is?
@@Hoodville13 I will do!
Thankyou! No company in paintball can have been as diverse as this. Brilliant :) I hope they return to form soon. Was hoping for a 25th anniversary 98 or something by now. I also forgot about those electronic hoppers too.
I appreciate your support! I hear rumors of a 25th anniversary 98!
How many different types of hopper were there? I have some modern looking Tippmann 50's but not sure what they're from? Possibly SL68ii Mk2? I love the idea of having the right hopper for the correct Marker and has now set off my OCD haha
I am aware of 9 different types of Tippmann hoppers. I guess I should make a video on Tippmann hoppers! Lol
@@GeneralPaintballMuseum Is the Factory FA hopper the same as early a5's? You need a video :D
@@tamsyndavis784 The FA has an Indian Springs made hopper. I guess I will work on another video for you! Lol
Thankyou :) Looks great on the Procarbine :)

Hello I just acquired an Ebolt and was wondering if there was any seals in the ram that need to be changed overtime?
There are seals in the ram, however many rams do not come apart for servicing.
@@GeneralPaintballMuseum Was wondering because my Ebolt hammer the silver piece hangs forward a little bit so I think a part of the spring inside broke or is worn out. Any fix??

Thanks for watching!
I'm doing a build on a 98 my buddy gave me. Don't know much but learned a lot, rebuilt it all and as I tried it she just hissed and hissed. Confused as to wtf was happening I realized I could stare at the air hose coming in the valve and went oooh shiii. This video answered everything I needed to know seems I'm missing the flat plate on the barrel end of the valve. Thanks
Oof cringe sports reporter.
He ment well! Lol

Beautiful space :)
Thank you!
Can you post someplace to send donations of paintball stuff? Or message me??
Thank you for your support!
So FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching and the support!
Good video, thanks for the help. Do you know where I can get a Rear(short) Valve Plunger that goes in the valve body? My gasket was damaged and is leaking co2.
Thanks for watching! The valve parts are becoming hard to find for these, I do not sadly have any recommendations on were to find them.
I tried to build my own gasket, my first attempt held for a for shots but failed. I have another solution that I will use and build another gasket. I will let you know how it goes.
I've always been impressed by that Hush bolt for these, seems to make major difference to performance.
It is an impressive product!
I'd love to see a series about the timeline of different Spyders.
It’s on the list! Thanks for watching!
Does the pro carbine take A-5/X7 parts? Or is it an entire beast of it's own?
It’s parts are unique to older markers like the 68 carbine. However newer markers like the a5/x7 do not fit the pro carbine. They do share the same ball latch!
Ah yes… “The Snow Machine” as we called ‘em back in the day here in NorCal (Northern California). We called it that because on a cold winter day and this gun working off of liquid Co2 it would shoot snow out the end of its barrel, little puffs of white liquid Co2 along with little snow (Co2) flakes falling. I bought a Tippmann 68 Special I plan on fixing up along with a VM-68 and an F1 illustrator. Just side guns to go with a whole “old school” rig I’m putting together with my main gun being a stock 68 Automag, though it does have a couple of add-on’s like a crown point barrel (the original one where it’s been cut AFTER it was anodized) and some type of modern loader so I don’t chop paint. Oh and a remote line, other than that, stock. 😎
All are great markers! Hope you the best of luck on your restorations. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out!
I really wish Tippmann/Kore/G.I Sportz would bring these back with a few updates. I have the pro-carbine and lite
You can always hope! Lol Not likely but anything is possible! I also wish replacement parts would become available.
@@GeneralPaintballMuseum I actually play in the local mech league with the carbine, and it preforms. Replacement parts would be a blessing.
@@TheBluepoint9002 I've been playing with one for 23 of the 25 years I've been playing. I have a 1990s rear velocity adjuster. I just wish someone was still making those. They make it a lot more consistent and let me back the stock velocity screw out for better efficiency.
@Patrick Corcoran I started playing early 1994. Been playing since. I might have an extra rear velocity knob you can have. I just gotta look
Does the valve work when not under pressure? If I blow in the valve where the line comes in, I can just blow through. Is that how it should work? Same thing if I blow into where the tank threads onto the gun when the gun is assembled. It just blows out the barrel. Are there replacement parts to correct this?
The valve should be sealed unless you hit the valve pin on the rear of the valve. So if air blows out, then the valve seals need replaced. There is a long (front )and a short (rear) cup seals and a valve seat o ring the cup seals are hard to come by. The o ring would not be as hard to find.
@@GeneralPaintballMuseum I was afraid of that. Thanks for the quick reply.
Looking good! Just nabbed a pro carbine for a song recently, excited to get some new o-rings in it and spiff it up. Any resources on that expansion chamber mod?
The expansion chamber is an old school part, added brass pipe to connect it to the valve. This was to help keep the liquid Co2 out of the valve to create a more consistent velocity. Not as practical these days.
