It's beautiful. A bowlers life-long dream... ...But, that better be a free-fall pinsetter in the back and not one of those ridiculous string pinsetters. lol UPDATE: After reading additional comments, I realized it IS a string machine! AAAAAAAH!
mottbone although a freefall machine is nice it also requires a mechanic to service the machine. You probably don't want to have a string machine for a league but they say there is only a 3 pin difference in scores.
That's an unusual ball return track, isn't it? I guess it minimizes stuck balls at the base of the lift. And, strings, oh well... definitely low maintenance though.
For a new lane it can be anywhere from 50 to 80 thousand depending on how many bells and whistles you get. Such as the type of machine and the scoring system. It takes roughly 2 weeks to build.
If I wanted manual scoring, a Brunswick A-2 (Can repair myself, certified Brunswick Pinsetter tech), and Anvilane synthetics, whats the average cost for something like that?
What's the price now two years later and what's the deal if I want two lanes mean one Lanes kind of stupid you got to have to how can you do your PBA roloffs
It's not a status symbol if you don't let people know about it. And yup you can get a lot games at you're local bowling alley and you get the free zoo vibe and disgusting Restrooms, Stabbings and drug deals in the parking lot. Last time i went bowling i visiting friends in California , palo alto to be exact and went to use the bathroom and the toilet had stopped the people didn't .2 ft high pile of human crap so pick your poison lol.
What is the difference between the bottom planks of the subfloor being forward and back, or side to side? I've seen the smaller installations have them going forward and back, but the bigger installations are put in side to side first. Does it depend on the company or something?
It really has to do with where and how the ball comes back and how high the ceiling is. For example this one lane has a Partial trench ball return. We put the sleepers the long way to save on height.
If I ever get to the point where I could afford my own bowling alley it would be an Brunswick A-2 running at A speed for with a Jetback ball kicker instead of the A-2 ball kicker, simpler. I used to work as a mechanic for Brunswick so maintenance isn't an issue unlike most customers. Just curious what part of the country are you in? Thanks for the video and the answer. Jim
Gold Crown Anyone with DIY mechanical skills can maintain a Brunswick A machine, simply buy a Brunswick maintenance manual. It tell you what to do for every single problem it has ever had. Then you have to add between 5 to 10,000 worth of parts if you want to keep bowling instead of waiting for the part you need to arrive. But calling an experienced mechanic is a whole lot easier as when he leaves the machine will be running after he does a 51-20 inspection and then repairs/ replaces what the inspection showed it needed. By doing that when you turn the machine on all you should hear is the whine of the motor. If I ever do hit the lottery I will be calling you for the installation of two lanes in a new house to make it easier with 6 feet behind the ball wheel.
I agree, Real wood lanes and the Brunswick A-2 would be my dream, actually one of my life long dreams is to own and completely run a Bowling alley, 6 lanes is fine with me.
Aaahhh, how refreshing: Gold Crown rep doesn't get all offended by a guy just trying to make humor. The cool exchanges that followed between the two of them was what made me want to comment. The Internet is full of hateful trolls, but obviously not completely. Cheers to both of these Gents.
If I went everyday to my bowling alley it would cost $130,000 over 20 years, 10 games a day. So least expensive route is going to an alley, this is an amazing status symbol and a very well put together alley you guys did amazing
