Is that Havre? Can't remember how many lanes the S.U.B. had there but the back room sure looks like the same shrunken dungeon LOL -- video's grainy enough can't make out too many details, but with the electrical box in front of the rake, I'm gonna guess straight-As, but they do seem to be closer to A2 speeds, really can't tell much more detail from the video quality though. Good video though, good to see
Amazing. Havre's Student Union Building was an awfully similar configuration - can't remember if they were As or A2s, I ~think~ they mighta had a little more room behind the machines (not much) -- although I can't remember if they were 4 or 6 lanes. Pretty sure they were above-ground returns, the back room was a similar dungeon... -- again, cool to see, thanks!
They used to. I do not know if they do any more, though. I would've loved to have gotten a Scholarship for bowling, would've helped out greatly with loans and what not.
under the cross conveyer there are 2 teeth that must be in an upward position for the turrett to drop the pins into the deck chutes one tooth is lifted by a pin placed into the in the 5 pin position in the turret and the other is lifted when the deck is in the upward position.
if the deck chutes are full the tooth for wen the deck is up wont move
im not entirely sure how this part works though (still in training lol) but thats the general outline. please someone correct me if this is false
You are correct. The left-hand blocking finger stops the turret from double-dumping and the right-hand finger keeps the turret from dumping if the deck is not fully up at either 180 or o degrees.
i think that if a pin was to go through the turnpan without turning base first it would create a pin jam in the turnpan and the machine would spit the pins out of the back of the machine until either there were no more pins left to spit out or the mechanic has cleared the jam and allowed the flow of pins to continue correctly.
Actually As and A2a are no different other then the speed they run and the pit cushion assembly as well. A2s run at a faster speed and use a shock-assisted pit cushion assembly. Other then that they are identical and nearly every part is interchangeable.
I've always been interested in pinsetters since I was a little kid. Could you make more videos and focus on other difference angles. Very interesting.
Are these Brunswick A2 pinsetters? I'm doing a virtual bowling alley on 3d sketchup, and this will help me improve my pinsetters! I will let you know when I post the video of it! Thanks for posting this video! -Brady

This is down in Bozeman. And you are correct. Straight As with an A2 speed conversion with shotguns for the rake drop.

Are A2s better than As? because As have always worked better for me.

Brunswick spotters just look so compilcated. Looks
like they would also be hard to work on
