1:1 Partial Rebuild - Brunswick Pinsetter Repairs 

Thank you very much! I didn’t want to run the machines after we got it done cuz it looked good lol Detectors I had no experience with till the school, then came home and rebuilt and changed at least 20 so far. But the Gearbox is the thing I have the least hands on experience with

I’ve probably changed out 20 Detectors before this, so I’d like to think that helped lol. Thank you!

Way late to the party. Next time you do a 1-1 do it at 90 degrees strike. Puts you in the perfect position to where you don't have to mess with the deck lift pin and also you don't have to mess around with the timing marks through the inspection port on the gearbox housing. Timing your detector is super easy as well. There's a scribe mark on the M/D scissor cam that bisects the follower bearing perfectly at 90. That's how you time the 1-1 when you reinstall. Fastest I've ever done one is 4 1/2 hours. The slowest for me has been 8 hrs since I hit a couple snags.

Ok next video I’ll make sure to leave in a lot of that stuff, didn’t know how some people felt about videos that got up there in duration. Now that I have an idea stuff like that will be longer and more detailed. Thank you for the suggestion, want to make the videos the way you guys want to see them!

We’ve had to do some without the clamping bolt. I just put one with a clamping bolt on afterwards lol

@@shawnmbowling Those are gold if you can find them used. Saves sloppy 1-1 Keyways from not being usable. Got a couple 1-1's I can't use due to new Keys fitting sloppy in the keyway. Attempting to source new style cams without buying new is a chore.

We got lucky cuz our previous owner took out 10 lanes for an arcade/billiards area so those 10 machines become part machines

I will definitely have to look into one of them then

Rust-oleum painter’s touch Gloss Dark Gray

Not sure how it is now, but years ago you could actually order "Brunswick gray" paint.

Yeah I was told about that. We haven’t done is so not sure if you can or not

@@warmongerel9743 you can get some Touch up paint but i have yet to find anything other than that from Ace Mitchell

So from everything I’ve heard and even with talking to someone from Kegel it’s usually the same thing, the work great for others and not at all for some. We only get it for the 1,7,10 and we like them a lot. Best thing you could do is get a few, and put them on lanes you have problems with and try them out

@@shawnmbowling Appreciate the info! We will try it out and see what happens

No that would be in the linkage. We had to change a whole 1:1 assembly out cuz the cam broke and it was easier to c/o then rebuild. This one was literally just cuz of that plate being bent.

That plate you mount the detector to and the moving deck cam follower shaft goes through was bent. We couldn’t bend it back, so changing it out was the only thing we could do
