The turret wire is bent on lane 27 or the spoons in the wrong spot....

Wow. I knew this was an A2 before even looking at the comments. Very fast, very smooth. Alot different from the A's that we have.

our alley is basically non smoking except in a smoking room and in the bar area, so it really cuts down, I remember as a kid i'd go in there and it just stunk of cig smoke, now it's actually nice to go in there, and I don't come out smelling

Different centers have different problems, but ball returns and 180 stops are usually common, just different little idiosyncracies, not all A2's *these are A2's* wear the same, trust me on that one

Buying used, not too much... I know a 12 lane center right now that is just looking to get rid of their machines, the building got bought out by a Walgreens, and they're just trying to get rid of their lanes and machines...

This Brunswick automatic pinsetter isn't a "jet back" or "A" it's an "A2" Real wood pin decks not synthetic.The Bowling center is using AMF pins instead of Brunswick,that's common.I don't detect any noise retarding rubbers on the pin wheels but the ball wheel has kick pads on it.Might be an infrared sweep computer scoring system or CCD.GDK

Yes, it's a 2nd Gen A2, the pindecks are synthetic though. Brunswick pins just don't hold up as well as AMFlites in my opinion... The scoring is AS80's with '79 scanners which uses a Red beam of light to check for standing pins...
