Awesome job on the continuous improvement on your pinsetter equipment! Love your commitment on quality. Never stop improving! Hopefully someday i will be able to own one of these lanes. By the way, i couldn't find any accessories (pins, balls etc...) on your website. Do you have a link for this? Are there prices available for these accessories?
Have you ever considered moving the pin elevator to the side of the lane? Might free up a few feet that could be added to the lane length. The ball return would be a straight line back to the front.
It is a shame that the off spot switch (old style) was a tough adjustment and that you had issues getting the old motors. That pin table drive was very compact and simple. This setup is definitely more parts, but once it's installed shouldn't need to be adjusted much?
It's actually about the same number of parts when you add in wires, relays, plugs and mounting bracket for the motor for example. Those electrical connections to make the motor run are all possible points of failure. Using this system eliminates those points of failure. One thing I didn't cover is I'm actually simplifying the electrical system of the machine also.
It's awesome that you don't rest on your laurels, and continually strive to make improvements to the machine. I live in Ohio and would love the opportunity to try bowling on it. So if your ohio order is going to a business establishment I'd love to hear where I can try it out.
Very impressive, seems like you are continuing to simplify the machine. I really like the reversing mechanism to avoid the deck being locked on the hook. Did you beef up the chain on your elevator? Looks thicker than the one I previously saw.
Thanks, Phil! Please keep the videos coming.
Mechanical solutions are always better in my opinion. Running that motor in reverse for the spotting cycle is super smart!

Very clever, enjoy all your hard work. Thank you for sharing.

The lift is only 6 inches deep.
Currently living in a apartment. But once I get a house this is going in my garage haha. So cool. Unlike anything out there

It's going to private residence.
@@coasterp2199 Sweet. I'm sure theyll enjoy.

Yes, the lift chain was beefed up sometime ago when we combined the ball lift into the pin lift.
Just curious - have you shipped any to Omaha?
Odd you should ask that question. Stay tuned. You're going to be very interested when I show what we've been working on.
Is it possible to just buy a lane and pins without the eletriconics and just manually put the pins up?
Yes. We can customize to meet your needs. Please contact me through our website www.minibowlinglanes.com to discuss your needs.
