So you always want the holding hook on second ball when crawling under machine ? Curious bc i never did this and now thinking about all the times i could have died 😬

If this were a recruitment video for bowling lane mechanics all bowling lanes would be string pin. Thank you for your service!

Oh, Pinsetter "A", that means they pay you less than a "Facilities Manager" even though you still have the same responsibilities. 👍👍

what size bolt did you use? having the same problem

that plate is only on the A transmissions

Dude you left so many things out of this tutorial first of all once you get your bronze bearing in your friction ring cleaned up put a light coat of oil on them the inside of the bronze ring and the outside of the bronze ring where it contacts the friction pad secondly you need to check the teeth on your time delay gear and the stop pad on the bottom of the time delay gear where your indexing latch stops the time delay gear if that stop pad underneath for the latch is rounded or is not flat then it could cause an issue with your latch not stopping the time delay gear you also have to check the trip pedal bearing on the other side to make sure that it has smooth operation going over the bump in the time delay gear for the trip pedal then on your frame you need to check and make sure that there's no dirt buildup on where the slides go and that they're not gouged up or it won't slide back and forth properly and then last but not least I always put a brand new pulley and a brand new belt on it in order for it not to squeak and drive properly I just got done doing 50 turret clutches in the house that I work at and out of 50 only two of them had a problem afterwards that had nothing to do with my rebuild

I always run my latch a little bit rear word from vertical can I adjust the front spring for just the weight of the pain to index

Thanks so much!! This video was short and to the point, and I'm pretty sure my preference is working properly now. Subscribed!

We got ours last week but we got the Atlas Pro and man it took some tweaking for our center

不懂 為何 您不把機台降到置瓶的 角度再做調整不是比較好啊

Never had to work on the Bastard shaft in my 20+ yrs working on these. The way it is situated in there I would rather change deck lift shaft bearings all day.

Ngl my boss just handed me a book and said figure it out, i have no idea what the actual fuck im doing rn, even with the videos the terminology and everything just doesnt click for me, i feel like i dont even know what to even ask this is all alien tech to me😂

I have a question How do you make your rake drop faster For the A-2 machine when the ball pass the photo eye

P

Frank Marioballi was your teacher? Shit I just had his class back in August of 2024 and unfortunately the class kinda sucked

The tech who wrote down that problem needs to look closely.simple fix👍also sounds like you might have a problem with pit conveyor jogger arms... keep up the good work😀

Tthe bolt needs to screw into the nylon on the nyloc nut otherwise it won't hold 🤣but you already know this... communication is the key.keep up the good work👍👍😃

Hey are you able to upload a copy of that procedure you have I cannot find ours

Quick pit cushion adjustment for those extremely light 6lb shots? I assumed “middle section” meant pit conveyer area.

Just a thought..have you ever concidered replacing manual out of range with auto out of range? I have them on all my pinsetters and it makes life a lot easier.😀keep up the good work.👍😀👍😀lets bury those string machines🤣🤣🤣

I usually on the scissor cables get it on the bastard shaft pulley the rear deck lever and the lower front pulley and then use my belt (leather) to help put it on the upper front pulley

We dont bend , we reshape

When someone doesn't take the time to find out the correct part or hardware is VERY, VERY aggravating!!!!

Go figure, all those unused lanes and the front desk person puts someone down right next to where you are working. I swear it never fails. Great vids.

there exist people in every industry who should not be there. the people who don't enjoy the work, or have a desire to improve are why the manual is written in such a explicit way. Ive done work where i have to explain things to people that cannot understand what i'm saying at such a fundamental level its maddening. we have to make adjustments for those people. weve all worked with that guy right? no matter how simple you make it, or how much time you devote to them, its like they go out of their way to fudge things or missunderstand things. Ive had a guy whos worked on a2's for like 14 years try and tell me the reason the turret clutch was slipping was because the rake arms needed to be adjusted. ive had people tell me the size of the pulley on the motor wont affect the speed the machine runs at. they can however(for better or worse) change a CC belt because the book explained it so well.

I just did a detector rod adjustment on a lane and it detects standing pins perfect and it detects a strike but for out of range pins it will lift back up and sweep them, would I have to lower the tube another 1/16 of an inch?

Been wanting to load up a broken spring and bring it out to an empty field and let her fly for like the last 2 weeks. Gotta find a good use to this bad spring somehow.

Should have taken off rear shield cover to see better. Pinwheel button wear is a factor also.

Lil late to this post, but how do you slide it back? Do you essentially get two guys to just push it at those corners?

Another way to look into doing this adjustment is dropping the deck to 270,remove spring on the finger, loosening the rd curved link, and then just finger tightening the bolts back. Run the machine back to zero and it will self adjust…. Drop machine back down tighten the bolts , put spring back on and your golden

Either re-tighten that holding clamp OR add metal shims to it. No need to replace lower frame. That post gets loose from not checking them.

That pit carpet has seen better days.

Lot of people lik the old style rubber mounts use kep nuts for mounts. They say it's saves where an tear on the upper lower pit frames

Uslly when have auto scoring you dont need them

Pin brake dont look healthy .some eople when slowed dm to a sp. From a2 went back to old style

Yea, it's a bit hard to do this one with the fucking deck right in the way.

Rebuilding g/b assemlies are my favorite things to do. I spent 19 yrs working at a 24 lane house and 14 of those 19 yrs I had worked with a remarkable mechanic that was like no other. He took me under his wing and showed me things and ever since I have been bitten by the bug. He saw more than average potential in me when he saw that I had rebuilt not 1,...... but 3 1:1's in a single night during leagues and at that time I had never even done a 1:1 swap yet,...... just read the manuals and started tearing things apart and putting them back together. Now here I am working at a 32 lane house continuing the work that he has showed me ,....... still learning,...... still growing,...... still wrenching away at these indestuctable machines.

Full install/adjustment video?

What style machines do you have first machine on this video the ball return is crazy different

I absolutely loathe those crowned ball accelerator pulleys. The belt centering adjustments are just a pain in the ass.

Can you do power lift ball damage repair

hey Shawn my name is Kip Beatty im at Clarkesville lanes in Clarkesville Ga. our mechanic Steve Clousant passed away about a month ago and i was asked to take the job over which was great except i am a carpenter thats pretty good at fixing stuff im going to take the training course next month, but my question is, is there a bowling mechanic forum of some kind in case i need a random question answered pretty quick ive got all the books but you cant always find what you need in a book cant beat real world experience. im sure im going to need plenty of help for while any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I have some machines that don't have a pin for the spring and some that do.

I do mine a little different,..... I remove the 8, 9, and 10 turret wires then I remove the basket.

Turret clutch squeal might be the worst sound in the world.
