My first real job between High School and college was as an Assistant Mechanic in 2 Bowling centers. Rosedale lanes and 300 Bowl in NY, both AMF houses. 82//70's hold a special place in my heart. Even the sounds bring me back.
Same. I worked at Park Lanes in Anchorage, Alaska for 3 1/2 years when I was a kid. Counter, concourse, and back end. Even helped with sanding and refinishing and 1 year drilling and epoxying each board on the heads of all 24 lanes.
Oh now I see. The Shuttle Assembly goes forward to the front of the machine to allow the pins to be released from the Bin Assembly to the spotting cups on the table.
Yes. And to spot just one pin, slip that pin into the cup and hold the shuttle with one hand on the first ball cycle until it sets, then hit a button on the control head to cycle it to the 2nd ball.
I'm not really a fan of 82-30's plus they're pretty hard to find now of days, besides I've heard they're pretty dangerous machines especially electrical risks.
jordan rausch These machines are VERY dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. As with any pinsetter/pinspotter it’s a machine, it will kill you.
@@FloridaBowlingAlleys that's awsome, I've been working at my bowling alley for about 5 years now, my dad's the owner so I've pretty much grown up there haha
No guards/cages over the ball lifts ?? Thats dangerous and unusual. Also, the covers on the chassis have been removed. Not a good idea. As for the video, thank you for shooting it properly, as in NOT Vertically.
Not a problem, I see your point on the chassis's being uncovered, they most definitely should be covered at all times. However, a lot of older model AMF 82-70s didn't come with ball guards or cages, some don't and some do have them. Personally, it's not a needed thing in my opinion. Thanks for checking my video out though! Hope you have a great rest of your day and happy thanksgiving.
@@FloridaBowlingAlleys Our BE's got too hot to leave the chassis covers on. The chassis with the five boards would not run over-heated. Also, who cut away the catwalk to feed the #7 bin ?

Nice and clean old 82-70 ;-)

Kool video.. Very smooth running machines..
Most definitely, no lack of maintenance with these lanes, that's for sure.
I see u like to see the back of the machines so much maybe one day you should go for a 82-30

FloridianBowler how are they dangerous?

What year were these installed? I see the old AMF logo on the pinwheel cover. However, I've never seen a "AMF International LTD. England" plate.
Its crazy how diffrent my machines are compared to yours!
I've moved all around, I no longer live near this center anymore.

@@2pugman Oh, it's been a very long time since I've been to this center, I haven't a clue. About the chassis's, that sounds really bad...
sad to see "mechanics" bolt on gimmicks to the distributor instead of doing the correct adjustments😟
