That was fascinating to see the workings of an AMF machine, have never seen one. I was a Brunswick A-2 pinsetter mechanic for 25 years, they are an entirely different animal from an AMF. I see you don't wear hearing protection, hearing protection is a must... take it from this old fart mechanic, I used to go without one, until one day, I was working on a machine and on the next lane over, someone really hit a solid and loud strike. My right ear started ringing and hasn't stopped since then... day in and day out, and now going on for 40+ years... permanent nerve damage. Not fun to have the ringing as a constant companion.
Pretty dope! Been bowling forever. I do have a question... Why do some bowling alley lanes at the balls? Like we gave a bowling alley that we never go to cause when you bowl, your ball might come back with gashes or chunks missing
They look for mechanically inclined good with tools kinda people. AMF centers will want you to take a test, I can fix almost anything on the machines but can't pass the amf test lol. It's hard for centers to find mechanics nowadays so just a willingness to learn and good with tools.
