This video was shot at the Woburn Bowladrome in Massachusetts. The clip depicts what happens behind the scenes after you take your shots in candlepin bowling. Watch the pinsetters at work! For more information on candlepin bowling, please go to www.candlepingallery.com
those machines are an awful lot like AE70pinsetters in a bowling alley with the pin elevator and what not.

Pretty rare to see a Bowl-Mor machine that has both the pins and balls going up the same elevator. Most later machines and even the last Bowl-Mor candlepin machine the Model E had two separate elevators for the pins and balls. Those machines appear to be very clean and well maintained so I wouldn't expect to many problems at that bowling center,unless they also offer tenpin bowling. That is just like the various tenpin machines are a totally different story all together.

There used to be a center with a few candlepin lanes in Tracey, Cal. but the owner told me they took them out a few years ago.

Thank you for uploading this- never seen a candlepin pinsetter before (in fact, never seen candlepin bowling except here!) I guess out here on the West Coast we don't know the fun challenge we are missing...

Heh, these lanes were where I bowled on the TV finals. Great stuff! :)

Simply awsome and amazing! At Michigan State, I used to work the pits at the Union Bowling Lanes there, so I have a bit of experience back there. Most people never get to see how this works! Thanks, for sharing.

Growing up in a bowling alley with my dad I loved sneaking back to watch the machines work, great stuff! Never saw the candlepin machine in action before.
