Part 22 Bowling 🎳 More problems on lane 1

[@protobuster12]

Despite issues it looks really cool. The fact that you set up 2 (mostly) functioning lanes is amazingly impressive

[@fazbearentertainmentinc6514]

It looks like the ball bounces off the homemade lane that’s connected, but it still looks cool 👍🏻♥️

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Yes it does! Bounces more on this on than lane 2.

[@Rodj12341]

I noticed on both lanes that the deck/full pinsetter height is a bit high. I know there was a way to adjust this somewhere but I can not find it right now. Notice on the 1st ball cycle the scissors are still closing fully when the deck starts to raise again(they should close fully before the deck starts to raise again), and the deck is a few inches higher than it should be when setting new pins. You can do that or raise the pin deck height a little. This would in turn also solve the detector rod issue.

[@fazbearentertainmentinc6514]

Now you say it definite looks like it is a little high

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Yes I have found there's a happy medium between the adjustments the deck is either too high or too low I need to find in between.

[@Rodj12341]

@@t.c.bowling1934 Found the adjustment. I would perform adjustment 13 if you haven't already and then followed by adjustment 14.

[@t.c.bowling1934]

@@Rodj12341 l appreciate your time on finding the answer to resolve this problem.

[@Rodj12341]

@@t.c.bowling1934 One last thing, on the trigger link for the rake trip latch, if you have the gap at 1/16" you can reduce it to 3/64" so the rake would trip more effectively.

[@lilianarojas1345]

Good job and a lot of adjusting to do

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Thank you!

[@bmhedgehog2]

With the bowling ball jumping off the return track reminds me of that one episode of Chris Hardwick's All Star/Celebrity Bowling where the bowling ball jumped off the return track and helped knock some pins over in the other lane. lol

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Lol

[@MegaTornado-u9m]

There is a bowling place like 15-25 minutes away and its called Billy Hardwicks All Star Lanes

[@upsd70ace]

I want to try to convert my model A to an A-2 again This time it look exactly like this or maybe I should go for a jetback

[@Lofote]

What are the exact differnces between A and A2 and between A2 and JetBack?

[@bethmeyer6754]

What do you do with the pins when you turn off the machine I thought they would stay standing like they do at the bowling alley

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Sometimes l take them down for adjustment reasons.

[@mr.ksplacekevynmarshall7721]

What type of wood was used for lane construction. Looks like 3/4" plywood. Other than some minor adjustments, both machines work well.

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Yes you are correct on 3/4 which is too heavy to move all the time. I have a couple of new ideas for the lanes.

[@EDT278]

Won't pick up 5 pin. I'm hoping you can get the pinspotter to work properly.

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Detector rod is goofy on that lane. I had to replace it because I broke it when I moved them.

[@fazbearentertainmentinc6514]

It’s weird how the ball keeps rolling off the ball return, one question, what happen to the rest of the bowling alley you got the pinsetters from

[@t.c.bowling1934]

They are still there. Last l heard was they weren't selling anymore and they were to be cut up.

[@fazbearentertainmentinc6514]

Treasure Chest cool

[@Sean-mclaughlin]

Lane 1 definitely has a detector issue.

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Yes I need to adjust it again.

[@TBHD724]

Shocks are bad, rake needs adjustment, and the table at times won't pick up pins it just resets?

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Yes l will have to see if l can replace them.🎳

[@bethmeyer6754]

Could you do a video of you bowling so we can see how you get your ball and how you bowl on the lane

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Yes there is more...

[@jonathancummins7681]

so not sure if you got this problem fixed or not. But where the shot gun bolts to the rake lift shaft assembly, that bolt could be too tight. It could also be a binde in the cushion linkages. Bad rake shock, Rake shock bolt where it bolts to the rake lift shaft could be too tight. rake cam is slightly out of adjustment, The detector rod is out of adjustment.

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Sorry for the late responses. I appreciate all the help I can get. I did loosen all the bolts but I will check the shot gun next. I think my shocks are bad but not sure I don't have any replacements.

[@jamesshanks2614]

Did it help feeding pins to the pin elevator?

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Yes l lost pins under the deck because it's not secured.

[@bethmeyer6754]

Can you take some video of the deck of the Pinsetter

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Yes, but it will have to wait until the spring. It's too cold to fire them up now.

[@jamesshanks2614]

You should be running a model A drive pulley. By running a model A-2 speed it can if it malfunctions destroy the gearbox. Your detector rod is out of adjustment, every time it has standing pins in the number 7 position it isn't detecting the standing pins. If there are a lot of pins still on the shaker board lift the board and add a couple of flat washers to the end closest to the lane. This will help transfer pins quicker.

[@Rodj12341]

It seems like it is Jetback speed or it has a 27:1 gearbox, A-2 is faster than this

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Right l adjusted and added washers.

[@t.c.bowling1934]

@@Rodj12341 l was loosing pins under deck because of gap.

[@bethmeyer6754]

I work on a2 Brunswick Pinsetter I would like to talk to you about your Pinsetter machine

[@t.c.bowling1934]

I was at work when you messaged me. Sure that sounds great!

[@Neymarjunior10BMG]

Wow Brunswick zone 🎳

[@PinoyBowlerGS92]

He would’ve been cool if he have those Brunswick Zone Masking Units.

[@A_Bowler]

I think it's bad rake shocks

[@t.c.bowling1934]

That's a good start!🎳

[@AVBE74NG768]

I think the reason why there are pins stuck there is because the conveyor belt was not functioning

[@t.c.bowling1934]

I adjusted that conveyor belt recently and it has solved the problem. Your right, the belt tension was lose and now that I have tightened it. I will explain in another video.

[@Neymarjunior10BMG]

Wow brunswck A2

[@louis-calixtemarois9342]

Bonsoir je suis tres intéressé est-elle disponible ? Pour me la vendre ?

[@chandlerb6728]

2:13 Almost a 5-10 split

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Yes!

[@Lofote]

But the A2 thinks it is a strike ;)

[@t.c.bowling1934]

😐 just when you think you have it set up just right....

[@lilianarojas1345]

BIG OOF

[@Pyry300]

How many pins do you have in it?

[@t.c.bowling1934]

21 pins but some fell under deck so there was a delay longer l bowled.

[@Pyry300]

@@t.c.bowling1934 Ok, yea i saw them falling there...

[@chandlerb6728]

Those masking units are for Lanes 33 and 34.

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Yes l had 1 and 2 but they didn't make it. Too heavy!

[@railroadskater2896]

Hilarious how the ball jumps up and hits the pins mid air. I hope that's an old ball you're not attached to. As for the rake dropping late that's not so unusual. I just don't get how the deck lowers but then doesn't pick up the pins between 1st and 2nd ball. I'd been to bowling allies that did that though. Wonder if whenever the ball returning but falls into the next lane is because it caught on the thumb hole. How many pins do you have in the rack?

[@jonathansandy2192]

It caused no ball sensor and spotting tong problem

[@t.c.bowling1934]

This machine uses a detector rod. If not correctly adjusted like mine sometimes you will have issues...

[@upsd70ace]

Yes I got what I want it

[@upsd70ace]

Try Bowling with a heavy ball

[@nathangorman764]

How did you made it

[@t.c.bowling1934]

2 years of work, l saved them from scrap yard...

[@ando5699]

I’m guessing lane 2 is done for?

[@t.c.bowling1934]

No not at all. It's resting, see part 21.

[@bethmeyer6754]

Why don’t you put bumpers on the lane

[@t.c.bowling1934]

I did on the first video when l didn't have gutters.

[@Neymarjunior10BMG]

Not brunswick zoen

[@Neymarjunior10BMG]

Not brunswick zone

Brunswick A2

[@bethmeyer6754]

You put 21 pins in the machine it don’t have to wait for pins as long and it won’t hurt the machine to have 21 pins in it

[@t.c.bowling1934]

I do have 21 pins in. The pins were falling under the left gutter. The book calls for 22.
