The first time I saw this pinsetter . I had second thoughts on even posting mine . This is unbeatable . It looks like it works better than the pinsetters at our bowling alley .
I had to make 3 pinsetters just to make mine work . All it does is go up and down . I would have to make a hundred of yours before I would even get close .
Thanks. But you got yours to work which is an accomplishment few have done. As I said on your video though, if you could describe the mechanics, that would be great.
I will make a video pretty soon . I warn you though , there's not much to it . I figure it pretty much has one moving part . It's funny though, some people can stand right next to it and can't figure out how it works .
Looks Great!!! It reminds me of a AMF 82-70 because it functions like 82-70 I mean this pinsetter is so much like it with the 1st and 2nd ball cycle and strike cycle and off spot cycle it does the same thing you should call it the AMF 82-70 mini lol but looks great!!!!!!!!!! :)
As you know, it's getting there! I like how everything operates automatically, but you might want to adjust the timings on the pintable and the sweeper. But well done! :)
@@coasterp2199 thanks for telling me I must of used the wrong one because.mine split so now I know what to use now thanks for telling me and keep up the good work
+Discreetfriend4u I estimate about $5000 - $6000 for cost. As for building another one, once I get this running and very reliable, I may offer them for sale. Now that I know what NOT to do, it should be easy to reproduce something that works well.
+hinzsight34 Rochester, NY. It will be a while before you can see it run though as I am in the process of making modifications. Stay tuned for some video up dates in the future.
I have been trying to do the same thing for most of my life. I just found the "Linds" pins myself. I repaired Brunswick A2's for 15 years. How did you do the scissors to pick up the pins? I have an aluminum table or "Deck" already made. The scissor design on mine is horrible and I keep setting it aside. Yours looks like the AMF 8270 table, which makes much more sense. I was starting to see how tall mine was getting and put it back on the shelf........again. Maybe seeing this might get me going on it again. Would be interested in the materials/motors you used, if your willing to share.
This is actually my old machine. I dismantled it and rebuilt into my new machine. Here is the video that shows how the scissors work ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JYv1bYUySS8.html I have other videos on my channel that show the development of this machine if you want to check them out. Lastly, I also used to work on A2's as well as 82-70's.
I took some pictures of the deck(table) I made. It's a mess compared to yours. My scissors( or grabbers) had a fixed position and were cable/link driven like Brunswick did it on the A2's. I can't seem to post just pics here. I'll see if I can send a link to them on my Facebook page. This piece was made over 25 yrs ago.
coasterp . I'm in Minnesota. That deck had a wood upper deck with pvc cups, it was more like the A2's I worked on at the time. I did have a distributor arm like the 8270's. It was made from drawer slides and steel rods that I welded.together....and it actually worked. I got the bug to give it another go, after I seen yours. I like the idea of using channeled square metal like your using aluminum looks like a much better way to go.
They are not available from Linds anymore. If you go to bowltech.com and look under the small scale bowling forum, you can find a thread about someone that is importing new pins. They should be here starting Nov.
+RK52102---Bowling---Gaming There will a future video where I do show that. Right now I am working through the bugs and want to wait until everything is working well before I do another video./
