  • how much do u reckon one of these cost new? looking to get one in my backyard...will be in a building ofcourse

  • 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...

  • lol looks like that machine is short a few pins :P

  • Yep I did that for the video so you could see it feed pins and the set pins...

  • 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...

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

  • Looks like lane #27 needs a snubber adjustment!

  • loud as crap just dont touch or youll loose a finger

  • Need to put 21 pins in each machine

  • huh, how simple, thats one childhood hope down the drain XD but that is just so perfectly simple, i thank you fork sharing this :)

  • very nice!

  • 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
