Has anyone ever actually seen one of Gottfried's 1938 suction machines? I'm assuming the first machines AMF ever actually installed in 10 or more lanes were the 8230 (I'm assuming if there was a 8210, it was basically the same, with intermittent duty 'pindicators', unlike the latched 8230's.). Anyone ever service the mechanical mouse 'sparemaker' arrow logic on an 8230?

So are all the motors in an 8270/8290 :
1/3 hp for the distributor/ball return?
1/3 hp for the sweep.
1/3 hp for the table? I think decades ago I saw an early 8270 with multiboard transistor logic, that had a 1/2 hp pin distributor but I can find no documentation proving it. Anyone know for sure? Thanks.

Uhm..... Made in America, you forgot the other kid in town, the Brunswick GS-X Pinsetter. Oh well, no one is perfect!

Brunswicks have always been over-engineered with WAY too many moving parts (VERY dangerous as well) Starting with the 82/70 AMF created a pinsetter which was streamlined and quite reliable. As a young man I worked as a mechanics assistant and have fond memories of the early 82/70s and later the single circuit board model.

@vittoriostoraro You speak truths sir. IDK how many times I've been cut, gashed, scratched or almost had my arm broken working on A-2s. Moving Deck Cables = The Devil.

The AMF pinsetter (machine itself) is about $14,000. (That does NOT include the lanes, pins and gutters etc etc)

@TexasSteven at 2 more thousand to that and i could buy a honda civic.

Well, I dont know man, I really enjoy the 82-30s, the thing that i dont like is the sweep, it always "bangs" down onto the lane, unless i was looking at a badly adjusted machine.
