Go to see Golden Triangle as I remember it as a kid. It still lives on as AMF Irving Lanes. @Biggreenleaf back in the day when they did not have scanners or cameras to read the pins the deck would come down after second ball to see what if any pins were left standing. This is how the data was retrieved to mark the score on the early auto scorers. Forum Bowls a2's did the same thing. But 40 sure did drop quick. GSX machines do the same thing these days.

Right lane had seious problems if you did'nt notice, first the time delay was set way to short as you see the deck come down and feel for pins almost immediatly after the ball hits the pins and second they could not get it off of first ball cycle notice the deck coming down after second ball. Well if they spared the machine thought it was a strike and set up 10 new pins, all they had to do was force the holding hook down on the deck until it could be fixed. Saw that at 72 Showboat finals as well

...And look at Weber. He's throwing an LT-48, I believe. Definitely a Brunswick logo on there. :)

What did he throw in the 1981 National? I'm pretty sure he made the show there, too.

Donna Adamek - great form and release, much like Pete Webers!
