I am very sad to learn these are no longer being produced. I have been following since the beginning. Hopefully someone or company will realize how great these machines are and takes over production. By the way, all the best with the scoring system.

Love the elegance of the design. Sad to hear they're no longer produced.

[@jrfrondelli2023]

I've been following you and your amazing little pinsetters for a couple of years now. A GREAT new video! I hope these great machines are selling well. :)

[@coasterp2199]

I'm no longer producing the lanes. Covid was very hard on us and there's still supply issues.

[@TarenNauxen]

That's a shame you're getting out of the business. I've been trying to design my own mini freefall pinsetter, and your progress videos have been a huge inspiration for me. I've been watching since you were still using the Brunswick A-2 ferris wheel style pin elevators!

[@DisasterMasterPro10]

Looks like a scaled down Brunswick model A! Amazing work!

[@teachergj3079]

Thank you for the video. You have built some amazing machines.

I can think of all the bars and bowling alleys I frequented in my youth, most of them having shuffleboard tables (nothing wrong with that). But I would have spent a lot of fun money on one of these!! Now that I'm retired with nothing good to do, just like in my youth (haha), I was even thinking geez, can I get one for the house? I too am sad to know that they are no longer available. For sure though, my top compliments to the creation of the pinsetter. As a kid, my Dad and Grandfather when we were at a bowling alley would often ask and back then anyway, get me (us) a tour of the back where all of the giant mechanical wonders (40 lanes in one case!) were doing their captivating, repetitive, multi-capability work to keep the bowlers happy. The video give a great closeup view of all of the action. Thank you!

I absolutely love your work. Can’t wait to build my own lane. So sorry to hear you’re out of business.

[@scsu300]

Hopefully someone takes this over and keeps this product going.

i could see these machines ending up a valuable collector pieces down the road. somebody trying to restore a ball bowler in 50 years could be looking at this very video.

[@joemuise777]

This is incredible, and I am thoroughly impressed. Is there any possibility that it could it be modified to use duckpins? This would be a gamechanger.

[@coasterp2199]

I've already had a couple of conversations with various duckpin people. We'll see where it goes.

[@zyloproductions4870]

How popular are these? Are they still selling well? It’s just I’m hoping that people still keep free fall pinsetters.

[@coasterp2199]

They were selling well when we were in business. Our problem was and still is, supply issues related to covid. While things have improved it was difficult for us to reliably get off the shelf parts consistently.

[@Joey_Hammer]

How do you design your parts, right now Im trying to make a mini A2, and I am struggling to get parts for it.

[@coasterp2199]

I use a 2D drafting program primarily. I haven't learned any 3D software well enough as of yet but it's on the to do list. I can do a simple part in the 3D but assemblies are still something I need to figure out how to do.

[@sjt66]

Very sad to hear u r out of business! Maybe some day cost may stabilize and u can start up again.

[@enzocruz2834]

I wanted to look at the website but the pinsetter is 32,000 dollars😢😢😢

[@coasterp2199]

The whole lane was $32,000. Pinsetters alone were less.

[@RandomBowlerDude]

Hi. I was wondering if you had any interest in buidling a new candlepin pinsetters in Ellsworth, ME.?

[@coasterp2199]

I think there's a company that makes candlepin machines already.

[@RandomBowlerDude]

@@coasterp2199 No there isn't. Bowlmor is out of business. AMF won't bother.

[@licker4355]

What lasers are used for triggering? The ones i tried on my personal build wasnt picking up the ball because the ball is too fast

[@coasterp2199]

We use retro-reflective sensors tied into a VERY fast computer. The computer then triggers the machine.

[@donbuttaccio4464]

Fantastic!

[@NancyVelez-q1k]

Hey coasterp I’ve been thinking about trying to convince you to make a duckpin bowling free fall pinsetter since duckpin alleys are pretty much on life support and shutting down and I do not want to see string setters on my face but this is just an idea thank you for your mini bowling ball bowler it was AMAZINGLY COOL!!! and sorry about the tragic accident that occurred but uh yeah thats all 🎳🫡🎳🇺🇸🇲🇽🇻🇦🤯😨😢
