Another Half Scale Pinspotter Video

[@bowlerrollercoaster]

That is insane that someone could make a pinsetter from scratch, handmade, and half the size!

[@Paul-gq2bn]

Automatic pinsetters fascinated me when I was a little kid. I would wonder exactly how they worked, being able to reposition an entire set of pins as quickly as they do. I first bowled in summer 1967 at a candlepin alley at Weirs Beach, NH. The machines were made by the Bowl Mor company. Their logo was on the sweepers of their machines, in a very bold , slickly but simply stylized font.

[@mr.ksplacekevynmarshall7721]

Fantastic looking machine. Just incredible.

[@matyasmacke]

This is the coolest thing i've ever seen! Good job!

[@jodyjohnson265]

Iv always wanted to see how the back of a bowling alley works thanks for the awesome vid!

[@PinBoy626]

I wish I had that I use it everyday 24/7 all night all year for patty’s fin leagues that’s really cool

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Pretty nice set up!

[@tweeleaf]

i’ve seen a few half scale pinsetters on youtube, but this is next level.

[@Alfadragon17]

And the best part! No pins on strings!

[@kalebisawesome1396]

There are some things that I would like to see you test on your mini 82-70 such as, out of range, can the sweep take a ball hit like its full size cousin can and how it handles a gutter ball or a corner pin hit.

[@kplinger]

the "can the sweep take a ball hit" part is called failure testing.

Just great stuff 🎩🎩off to Andy , Very Cool 😎, I’ve been Servicing 82/70s for many Years , Andy do you Service them as well? Thanks again 👍🏻🙏🏼

[@stilltlrforlife]

Looks like motors and transmission for windshield wipers. Thats what I thought about using when I wanted to make one. They cycle perfectly as well as being very durable.

[@Kingscoolstuff]

Your absolutely correct, they are windshield wiper motors. They have a lot of torq.

[@stilltlrforlife]

@@Kingscoolstuff Yes they do have quite a bit of torque. It was very easy to spot for my after being an auto technician for over 20 years. Very nice machine you have there!!

[@bmhedgehog2]

Looks like the carpet needs to be replaced.

[@Kingscoolstuff]

You are correct, it definitely on its last leg.

[@PinBoy626]

Winsome makes custom mini bowling pins

[@Funnade]

Have you ever had a pin jam on this?

[@Bob_Johnson_777]

I am working on a 1/2 scale pinsetter also. Where did you find the the conveyor belts, pulleys,etc? I used to work on Brunswick A-2's. looks like a few parts might be from 82/70's.

[@Styix]

can you show us all the electrical stuff and the audio equipment?

[@mcmike89]

I love bowling very much!

[@charlesfarley3561]

Impressive!!

[@bowling6535]

If that was for sale how much would it be?

[@Kingscoolstuff]

Unfortunately this one is not for sale but if your interested in something similar, check out this website. Ballbowler. com

[@mollies13]

[@kplinger]

me: *types in a-2 pinsetter youtube: interesting, this looks like an a-2! here (im not saying this video is bad, im just pointing out)

[@samueldecelles6646]

i like your lanes

[@bowling6535]

Do you know andy he could open a half scale bowling business

[@carwashgaming3727]

i wonder what AMF thinks if this

[@panfilipelkooriginal]

Could you please show how the distributor works?

[@mrb43605]

Amazing!

[@demdudes954]

Sick 💪🏽

[@Snatcher_Catcher]

Do you have a digital scoring system?

[@Kingscoolstuff]

Yes, everything is just like if you go to a regular bowling alley. It's all fully automatic.

[@Snatcher_Catcher]

​@@Kingscoolstuffdo you have a video of it? I'm actually trying to put together a plan to build a 2 lane alley. Any help would be great

[@hinzsight34]

How much would one of these go for if you built another one?

[@xswt1]

What is it

[@michaelross1393]

how much to buy one?

[@Kingscoolstuff]

There is a company that sells a different version for around $25,000 but that includes a complete setup.

[@PinBoy626]

Needs some new pins lol when he gets new pins make a video how he puts them in the lane that would be cool

[@jonesyokc]

I'm thinking it should be easy to put them in. Just toss them under the pinsetter and let them machine take them in. I want one of these things :-)

[@squidly2112]

This is absolutely amazing! .. however, I have thought about pin setters a lot this past year, and there has to be a better and simpler way of doing this. Currently systems use way too many moving parts. There seems to me a lot of room for simplification and improvement with these machines.

[@5ivepinbowler865]

Amazing amazing amazing!

[@bowling4206]

hi abotu ball retunr how u did it? you have video?

[@SteveTrabajos-y8d]

Love your AMF lil rake!

[@lottoweekendmiljonairs3621]

very incredible! i'm just dreaming of a lane like this in my house! how long did it take to build this machine?

[@Kingscoolstuff]

This one took my friend about a year or so.

[@lottoweekendmiljonairs3621]

Wow just amazing what you guys are doing! Much respect from the netherlands :)

[@wecontrolthevideo]

If had this, I don't know if I would bowl on it or play with the machine all day.

[@alenkuzmi4558]

Where did you get the pins
