Nice to see a man who can use his mind and hands to create such a machine. Can you comment on the relative strengths of the various distributor designs as seen in the GS-X, A2, AMF, and Furukawa, etc., pinsetters?
@coasterp2199
7 жыл бұрын
The AMF 82-70 is by far the best design, other than mine of course, LOL. The 82-70 is very simple compared to all the other machines. I have worked on both A2's and 82-70's so I can speak from experience. While the GSX looks simple, it has a lot more parts than a 82-70. It does however have the ability to do things the AMF distributor doesn't though. As for the Furukawa's, they look like nightmares from a mechanical standpoint. VERY complicated. The Odin Z-1B also look like nightmares. I can see where that chain pin lift system could easily become a maintenance headache.

Recommendation use plastic plates instead of metal ones on the cross conveyer. The fist model of the AMF 82-70A used a metal grid the pins fell onto until ten pins were in the pin bin and they changed it to the two angled I call them wings because I never worked on the 82-70 only the 82-95. The metal grate the pins fell onto once the tenth pin fell one the bin all ten pins dropped onto the pin spotting cups. They had to change the design because the original all metal design tore up the pins something fierce all sorts of chips taken out of the covering of the pins. So hy going to plastic flaps to carry the pins up the cross conveyer you drastically reduce the possibility of pin damage. kzitem.info/news/bejne/13unzqlmiqZkd3Y I included the link to the AMF 82-70A Pinsetter so you can see the different way it works. From the 82-70B model to the present AMF machine they all load the pins in the bin the same way 1-3-2-4-7-8-5-6-10-9 the 9 is the last pin and the head of the pin contacts a plate which activates a microswitch to tell the controller there are ten pins ready to set. As a Brunswick mechanic that's the only update I can see. Nice job there sir.

Its T slot tubing. There are a number of brands. They are80-20, tslots and faztek. Best place to get is off ebay if you have some patience. You can usually pick up surplus or used stuff.

Yes, that was how it was designed to work. However, I have redesigned the sweep mechanism and the sweep board does not need to slide any longer. Those slots are simply left over from the original design. The sweep now functions much the same way a rake on a Brunswick machine functions if it comes down on a pin.

Improved ball return possibility, A shorter version of the cross conveyer for balls instead of pins big advantage it will handle multiple balls mounted at an incline wired if you use a jack shaft to power it off the pinwheel motor you reduce one motor and added wiring. Two paddles to lift the ball would be sufficient 180 degrees out from each other. Rack ball lift paddle opens the ball door on the way down to let the ball into the pickup position. Just playing devils advocate. Jim

I purchased the lane second hand so I was able to complete the prototype. On the custom built models, brand new synthetic bowling lane will be included as part of the purchase. Length can be customized between 20' to 30' from "foul line" to center of head pin based on how much room someone has to put the lane in.
