Finally caught a break with the weather and managed to get a decent video of my newest acquisition, a Buckner #512 "Rocker Jet" sprinkler. This Rocker Jet is in very good condition for its age and appears to have seen little use over its lifetime. It also appears that it never had the diffuser screw attachment installed on the nozzle like most seem to have, though I'm not sure why that is. This one has a 7/32" nozzle installed and throws out at least a good 45 or so feet while being mounted at ground level, and I would guess that its output is somewhere around 9 GPM with 45-50 PSI at the nozzle. I initially had it running with a bit higher pressure than what it has in the video, but I noticed that at higher nozzle pressure it tends to kick the arm down a bit too hard and strikes against the small tab that keeps the arm from traveling too far back, thus making it "short stroke" a little much for my liking.

Nice smooth operation. Shoots quite far too.

I have the 1” double nozzle version with a 7/32 nozzle and a plug on the other end

Looks like a mini version of the pivot end guns.

Woah! Where did you find this? I've always wanted a smaller version of an end gun I could use in my lawn. So cool!

What's the minium pressure this can operate?
