Brunswick GSX Pit service

[@TheLastDay-BobReese]

Looks like a an incredible amount of work... how often does this need to be done?

[@clkbateman]

Once a year

[@zgcb0a]

He sure is faster than I am! :-)

[@bretnogle3465]

Did you use your T-band v-belt to tie up your curtains?

[@clkbateman]

I did that yes

[@bretnogle3465]

+Andy Bateman Genius lol I've been using bungee cords with these little plastic balls on the end. I've rapped my knuckles with them enough times to make me look for another solution

[@FloridaBowlingAlleys]

Is this at one of those corporate centers? I ask because of all the guarding... Brunswick Zone XLs/Zones, Bowl Mor, Bowlero, AMF corp would all require guarding as shown in this video.

Hollywood Bowl, Bradford

[@bobbybrautigam5628]

How long did it take in real time? How many lanes do you have in that center?

[@clkbateman]

cant remember how long it took. Its a 28 Lane bowl

[@PinoyBowlerGS92]

It’s annoying to work with these guards around. If only all pinsetter mechanics had the brains of safety first by unplugging the power plug before working on them in and out but sadly not all.

What’s up with all the silly gates?

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Necessity in Europe. It's really good for people that don't know how to handle the machines, but I'd say it's in the way for the mechanic. Especially when there's just a simple pin jam to fix.

@@ThinkCleverAndSmart In the US OSHAA Requires guarding like this on the A-2 machine, its a substantial amount of extra parts that have to go into the machine to keep lesser minded people from hurting themselves

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Stimulating Vids In the EU all pinsetters must have them

[@stimulatingvids]

ThinkCleverAndSmart that’s interesting, I’ve worked in a couple centers now, the only one that was forced to have special guarding is the one I’m in now with the A-2, Our other two centers in the area with GSX have no guards like these. Oh and by the way I now work for Bowlero, which is the company that took over all of Brunswick Centers

[@ThinkCleverAndSmart]

Interesting. We have guards on GS-Xs here too. It was a law created about 8 years ago or so. Nice that you can work with so many different pinsetters. I want to try at least one center some day!

[@synlee77]

yo do you need a job? lol

[@clkbateman]

ha, I've got a bit slower since then

[@synlee77]

@@clkbateman still better than what we got / can do lol.

[@bookeys]

that whole exercise looked like a complete waste of time.
