Luckily I was able to find the cause of Saturday’s Pinsetter failure. It was the magnetic clutch as I thought. Hopefully you’ll get a kick out of my edit Give me a thumbs up, drop me a comment, but most of all subscribe to my page and share it around!

This is the complete opposite on how stuff works in the garage door industry. If the clutch is too smooth it won't slip, it will just keep going until something breaks, all we do is just scrape it against the floor to roughen it up. Nice video!
It is kind of backward. But the 2 pieces have to be able to spin feeely up against one another but there was a big metal chunk binding up inside which completely stopped them from moving freely when needed.
@@GarageBowlingAlley yeah I get what your saying. The main thing I'd if the clutch isn't rough theres less friction and it wont slip easily, but if theres too much it can completely jam it up or it will constantly slip
Pretty big jam there! Nice that you got the machine working!
I think it was leftovers from our spare shoot challenge Saturday. But yes. Luckily all cleared and running again.
Glad to see it wasn't too major.
Me too. I thought it would have been a bigger deal than it was.
8:09 is when I started timing the good ol' mistake of the PW belt. Done it like 2 or 3 times, and ever since remembered. Especially the BW side.
Back in 1982 when I worked at a bowling center one night the magnetic clutch quit on one of the lanes during men's league. I had to stand and turn the pinwheel by hand through two leagues. The next day it felt like I had a heart attack my arms were totally wore out.
Damn! That is going way above and beyond!!
@@GarageBowlingAlley I was real wore out the next day. Only done that once in my lifetime!
Next time that happens, just put a screw between the mag clutch and pin wheel belt drive hub. And it will work. How ever take a few pins out of machine to avoid turn pan jams.
That's an old A. Running A speed Love this machine
It had the larger pulley on it but I slowed it back down to A speed. No reason to rush things !
@@GarageBowlingAlley I totally agree.
That was so awesome and interesting to watch and learn how that works. Thanks so much for this video!
Thank you for watching ! Hope you got a kick out of the cheesy editing
@@GarageBowlingAlley Loved it. I do kind of similar editing with digital recordings of my piano playing. I use it to edit out my mistakes. I love your piano videos too! Must be a blessing to have piano music in the house. :)
It is amazing to have a 91 year old mother who can play off the top of her head. I try not to get too far off the subject of bowling. I need to get more over to our personal channel instead. That I have no videos on yet. I’m still trying to figure out how to get my cams working right but having lots of issues Hopefully I’ll get that worked out quickly so I can get more videos loaded
I have never seen or heard of a mag clutch locking up the whole jackshaft with internal issue. I think theres still problem and if you have a deck jam it trying to tell you theres still a problem
Those 2 big burrs looked like they were related on both faces. I haven’t run it much since I got done so we will see how if goes when it gets a good workout in a few days.
Im hopping to get a job as an ally mechanic. I super want to get my hands dirty working on these amazing machines
It’s an amazing machine! Hope you get the chance to work on them.
Yes. The fragile triangle paper insert from the triangle mounted on the wall. I need to get it replicated
Hopefully, I will get a house one day and be able to put a pair of first straight A's with over travel, a little bigger pulley A than today's A's, dual bazookas, and gravity returns to witness the first ever A's.
That was my fault. I think I had loaded up the pins for the split and we never finished it when the mag clutch froze up.
You should put the blue masking unit on and use some brunswick crown glow pins and some of the amf glow pins mixed and have the black light on that would be cool
That would be a lot of work. It’s about 8 miles away 😁🎳
I spy the parchment paper to the AMF triangle at 11:47
You are correct !
Nicely done!
Thank you.......thank you very much 🎳😎
@@GarageBowlingAlley No problem Elvis 😉
You picked up on that !
@@GarageBowlingAlley I may only be 22, but Elvis Presley’s voice is fantastic to ears of any age. :)
Amazing videos of the stuff you’ve made. I saw your page. I’m curious how you made then even got the gold rim of the goldcrown masking unit done ? It looks better than just paint Or is that all it is ? I love your Brunswick fascination !
Nice fix 👍 have you changed your gearbox oil yet? I check my level but I think I'm going to change both of mine this spring
I haven’t. Probably would be a great idea to drain it and reload some fresh oil in it.
Best of luck
Til the next challenge!
The fun one is the cross conveyor belt! If you put it on wrong (and there are a lot of twists and turns) you can run the conveyor backwards! I know because I did that on my first time replacing it!
I'm surprised that there is no bearing on that magnetic clutch but I've never seen a magnetic clutch like that one but if it's working
It is an older style for sure. Luckily it was just a burr in the facing but enough to bind up movement. Still working after all that time since the video was made.
Yeah I've been in this business for 45 years I'm the only ones that I've ever seen are the round ones but that's pretty cool you learn something new everyday I guess
Not gonna lie I wanna see a video of your bowling pin collection on the shelves at the approach. Looks like you got some rarities up there!
You should see mikes collection. I’m trying to get him to make me a video to post of all this pins. You’ll be amazed.
@@GarageBowlingAlley I would love to see it!
That’s in the works now
How does the A2 know if there pins standing or a strike? Sorry if I missed this in another video
It’s part of one but I forget which. The detector rod on the deck lift shaft is connected to the detector and at 90 degrees a quick mechanical reading occurs telling the detector to go a standing pin cycle or set a full rack Or if an out of range has occurred.
It's called the detector rod
Good job! Thought you might have had to put in a whole new magnetic clutch.
So far no. It seems to be working now just fine.
Glad it was a somewhat easy fix. Well cheap fix anyway, didn't have to buy parts. How about a video on how to adjust the deck so the pins are on spot. I would assume there is a adjustment for each pin?
There is no way to adjust one pin over another. There are 2 spotting fingers and a deck roller per pin. As long as your roller is good and both spotting fingers aren’t bent, then you adjust the deck cable if the pins aren’t standing upright in the bucket on the way down to set on the lane. If the fingers are good, roller is good, the pins should stand upright. If not then adjust the deck cable til you get that best situation. Once you have that mastered you looses the 2 big bolts on each side where the posts mount to the deck. They’re slotted do you can move the deck til you get things on spot. If you can’t get them on spot then you’ll have to loosen the 4 mounts on the kickback and scoot the frame. At 270 you should have an even gap all 3 points of the moving deck and the pin deck. I can’t remember but it’s close to an inch and a half to 2 inches. Adjunct the 2 Allen screws at each mount to raise one portion of the machine over the other. This would be a great video. I’ll do one on this. After all is said and done, if you adjust the height you need to do a strike cycle, standing pins cycle and an out of range cycle to make sure you didn’t throw that off adjusting the height. If so you need to slightly adjust the detector rod to compensate. I’ll do this video one day this week. Thanks for the idea !
Hey there. What do you usually do about any pins you have that get broken by the machine? :) Thank you! :)
Luckily, we haven't had any break! But if we did, we'd probably give it to someone watching. 😁
The music was hilarious
I was hoping the humor would be appreciated. I didn’t realize my hammering would bleed thru but I thought it kind of added some more humor to it sounding like a jackhammer almost.
I think you should do this more often
I’ve got more in store. Hopefully it’ll work !
A friend of mine just got a place with a 6 lane bowling alley in it. They look like the one in this video. Can you please tell me the year and model number. Thank you for your time.
1956 model s/n 3690 How cool to hear about the 6 laner. Where is it? Is love to hear about it.
It's in Nazareth Pennsylvania. I saw the video of yours on where to find the manufacturer date and I'll see what it is today. Unfortunately I have a flip phone that doesn't take good pictures.
I found the exact date on the cam of the 1:1 It was facing the spring tube I need to do some new Pinsetter videos. I can show it on there too.
I just got back from the bowling alley and the cam that had the number on yours was not on any of the 6. Where else would the numbers be located? I saw a sticker on the lower left side with Brunswick but no numbers.
That is the only date I’ve seen I’ve got serial numbers all over the machine. 7 pin side by the gearbox drive pulley, top of the moving deck by the 2 bucket, cross conveyor back center, turret too I think has it in the side. Detector in the 7 pin facing side on one of the arms It was just unique to find the date on the 1:1 cam facing the side
You silly goose there was pins in the machine all you needed to do is hit the 180 bar (at least from my knowledge)
You’re right BUT I didn’t think to look and I was too lazy to climb up and check things before powering up. Luckily, atleast I hope, nothing broke in her blackout. It was pretty messy
@@GarageBowlingAlley sounds like me but if I were to do it the machine would go straight to the deck or something crazy like that
I’ve seen crazy stuff like that. A few weeks ago in league the rake swept and must have released at 180 as it got behind the pin deck. The machine set pins for first ball then the rake sprung loose. 10 pins went flying up the lane. Luckily for the Pinsetter it didn’t happen again.
@@GarageBowlingAlley happend to me once to but I think it was my fault. I was going for a 7 pin and I missed in the right gutter right where the masking unit support was and hit either the sweep or something else is there and the machine came down as the sweep was sweeping the pins and about 5 pins got to the foul line when the sweep came back to 90 degrees and just stayed there. Got moved a lanes and took the mechanic an hour to fix it
Could have bent the rake crank rod. Only way to fix that was to get a fat guy to stand on it and bounce til it bent back straight. I never had enough weight to do it back then.
