As a teenager in the early 90's I worked as pinsetter mechanic on the ol' Brunswick A2. After all these years, just last week I was wondering how pinsetters had evolved and how the newer ones worked compared to the A2. Looks like a lot has changed. Cool video!!

I watched his explanation of what happened, and it still isn't entirely clear - but one thing he did explain was that he was trying to dislodge a pin, "laying on top of the machine" and got his hand caught "with the machine going back and forth," which almost seems to suggest he was trying to dislodge a pin with the sweeper mechanism still operating or perhaps stuck. The only other "back and forth" motion I can imagine is the pinsetter rack going up and down, but it would seem that would be taking his hand and shoulder up and down for the ride, and that could have been an even worse injury.

I honestly miss working at my old bowling alley, not for the company themselves. I was at a bowling alley with these Brunswick GSX machines, I was there for 6 years, and I was the head mechanic for about 4 years after the previous head mechanic resigned. I left the place because the company was absolutely horrible and I can’t even start with the list, for example, I never was able to request off, I was ALWAYS on call, and even still had to stop in on my days off to make sure that machines were running and the other mechanics weren’t just simply NOT fixing them. But I wasn’t ONLY just the backend mechanic, I was also in charge of building maintenance like the bathrooms, lighting fixtures, tables and chairs, lazer rag, mini golf the HORRIBLE batting cages. I was the absolute best employee and always putting work first, it stressed me out so much that I started losing my hair at age of 22. Literally I was the only one that cared about the place so passionately, and I still do. I was going there ever since the place first opened. Then I finally started working there and my love for bowling just increased since. So I’m happy that Bowlero bought it out and ACTUaLLY renovated it and is doing amazing shit. I’m actually upset that I didn’t stick around just for another 1 1/2 years til they bought it, I would have been so estactic and happy. But I also have to include what added to the stress was me working a 2nd job and college classes full time, was doing that for 2 years at that point then I picked up a 3rd job doing hurricane shutter installations and that brought me up to working 105 hour work weeks and college classes, only did that for a whole year and then I got burnt out and eventually went to only working at the bowling alley and picking up shifts at the gas station like once or twice a month if I needed extra cash, and helping out when in the area. Shit for me to even get what they considered vacation time was working off the clock so they basically owed me those hours just so I can go on a vacation and yet out of those 6 years I only ever took a voluntary vacation of 4 days and that was like prying teeth. I had 2 motorcycle accidents within a year of each other and both accidents I was out of work for 4 months each. There were only 2-3 people I ACTUALLY and GENUINELY loved working with. One of them was a woman that was there basically since the start of the business and then when the company sold off and our GM stepped out with resignation she took over as GM. Truely the meaning of working up the ladder, but then when there was no more corporate, our district corporate guy came in saying that he wasn’t going to take her spot or anything of that sort and he did the exact opposite. Never took my advice on anything, suggestions, especially when he hired a assistant general manager that had NO, and I mean absolutely NO FUCKING clue about this area of activity. This kid literally walked in to shut our power off and give us notice because our company wasn’t paying the bills for months. I can guarantee you that shit would have been a lot better if I was at least promoted to assistant GM under that woman who I explained about. And then there was the 2nd person, he was the arcade manager and traveling arcade manager, dude was an absolute gem. He started showing me how to do arcade stuff like fixing the games, organizing the prizes, shit I helped bring in all the new games, helped assemble them even the big ass ones like connect 4, the BIG free throw game, Monster Drop, etc. literally I did EVERYONE’s job. Yes it wasn’t in my job description and I didn’t have to do it, but I did it because I loved the place. If I could work with those same people again, I would. It used to be all fine and dandy the first 2 years I worked there. Literally all of us employees were friends outside of work BEFORE I started working there. The 2 I spoke about literally watched me grow up from like 14 years old til I was 25. Shit was insane. Whenever I move tot exams I might try to apply to get back into another bowling alley. I would not but right now I’m working at a car dealership and making more money and learning a lot more shit than what these other companies would possibly pay me. But there’s just something genuine about solving a "ghost" problem or just a problematic machine like this, they are hard as hell at first but give it a few months of fixing things here and there, then you start to REALLY understand it all. But there are definitely a lot of things that are easier with a 2nd person, we techs never had that option. The only time there were 2 mechanics it was when shifts over lapped like either one person came in early or whoever opened stayed an extra hour or so, which was me 99% of the time both ways. Rule to the story, don’t sell yourself short. If you’re passionate about something don’t give up but don’t let your mental, physical and relationship health suffer because of a job. Don’t. Keep work at work and home stuff at home. I made the mistake of always bringing work home like pin holders, multiples at once, rollers, ball doors, actuators etc, fix me at home then bring them back the next day. The stress I brought home every day, there were days upon days or and even weeks that When I rode my motorcycle to work that I hoped someone would pull out in front of me and end it right then and there, but I’m glad it didn’t. I’m glad nothing of that sort ever happened. Well that ended up killing me, my first accident was someone failed to yield a left turn but I just got ejected over the car, and a couple cuts and bruises. But like i said don’t ever let a job beat you up like I let this beat me up. No matter how much you love the shit. Your own well being is more important,

The wall at the back of the lane you can see catches the ball because it is too short for the ball to go under the pins however slip right under and the floor behind the end of the lane in the pit moves away from the bowler the wall stopping the ball is angled towards so it pushes the ball towards the ball return side of the lane where the ball is then either accelerated or lifted and dropped into a flume under the floor that sends the ball to the return which lifts the ball to the return from under the floor

Excellent video. Does the elevator ever stop or will it keep on recycling overflow pins back to the distributor? As the pins pass through the guide wedges, what is the function of that switch mounted above?
@mattbowlin73337 жыл бұрын
First off thank you! As for the elevator, it will continue to run and recycle overflow pins for as long as the bowler continues to bowl. If for instance they stop and take a break, the machine will run for 45 seconds until it "times out" and the mechanisms like the elevator and the distributor will stop running until the next ball is thrown. The switch that you're talking about is a solenoid which determines the direction the shark fin will guide the pin either left or right on the distributor. It runs on a pattern of 2 to 1 so it will send two pins the the right side of the distributor before it sends 1 to the left.

There is a small button that the ball has to push in order for the door to open (54 sec) and let it through into the ball return... Now pins can occasionally get stuck in there but about 95% of the time they cant hit that button so they physically cant open that door.

Yes, when the pins was slightly off spot, it could still pick up but if the pin is way off spot and the table won't pick it up, the table and sweep would go back up to its home position, however deadwood (or the knock down pins) will be left behind on the pindeck and gutters.

did you know that the GSX Pinsetter is based on the first real working free fall ninepin pinsetter from Schmid switzerland? Schmid was the biggest produser of string pinsetters until Schmid went bankrupt, so Brunswick took over all the knowledge about string pinsetters and also the free fall ninepin pinsetter. In the sixties bowl more also tried to introduce a free fall ninepin pinsetter for europe. The machine was almost finished, then bowl more went bankrupt. Free fall ninepin pinsetters are very complicated, because there are 8 normal pins and one longer king pin in one set. Also balls can have different diameters. Tenpin machines knows only a two balls cycle, ninepin machines many many more different cycles.

This machine looks like a Brunswick GS series pinsetter. They are very rare. About 20 years ago, I bowled in a house in Baltimore that had the first generation of GS machines. They are very smooth, fast and quiet. The house I bowled in had the machines set for double detection; ie after the second ball the setting table comes down to check for standing wood before it is swept away. I understand that the GS machines can also be programed for traditional single detection, like the Brunswick A2 or the AMF 82/70 for use with optical scoring systems. I also know, from KZbin videos from Brunswick that the GS, series, at least the GSX, has two florescent fixtures, the second one used for black light bowling.

The turret System dropped the pins into the Pinsetter carriage to be placed on the pin deck for the game. The New GSX's do the exact same thing now as the OLD AMF machines did. it's NOT that hard to understand!

But at least this machine works which is worth it and the features on the GSX were better like you can set up your own shots (Incase if you want to practice Spare Shooting) automatically instead of calling a lazy mechanic sitting there doing nothing of having him to set up pins for you.

@@PinoyBowlerGS92 Have you worked as a mechanic? Yes these GSX machines are better in allowing you to spot specific pins but the mechanic isn't working to be your personal pinspotter.

So when a pin is moved from its starting position but not knocked over on the pin table after the first ball how do the tongs accurately grasp it and not move it back to its original position

Alex Hammer The tongs are engineered so that they start off with a loose grip and then get to full tight before the table is lifted.

I don't see any hydraulic component. I thought pinsetters have some sort of hydraulic machinery like the automatic transmission of a car

this is hella nicer than the old turret and spider Brunswick pinsetters I worked on decades ago. Probably more stable and less 180 calls on this machine.

What happened if won of the pins shift and it’s still standing but in a different spot and then the pin grabber thing doesn’t grab it in the right spot

Usually it knocks the pin over and an employee has to set the pin manually.

I came here because I just watched some dude dive head first and get swept in by the sweeper. I was wondering if he would be alive or not. I think we know the answer
