It's surprising to me that after all these years the distributor on these machines is still completely mechanical and that haven't tried to roboticise it.

Anyone know where to get those brackets he used on the hinge springs? Those would be handy.

I wish this guy would make many more videos. He’s a good teacher.

Thnx bro. That was a big help. Havent changed a carpet in a year so the reminder was much needed. Good looking out.

These look like brand new lanes and machines. Very clean.

Does anyone offer training on these machines? I haven't been able to find anyone.

Would have been nice to include reinstall of the carpet. As it looks to be a real pain so I am looking for easier way to do it without getting the carpet edeges caught on top of the bounce plate brackets

Wish this guy would come back to CZcams

Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

Hi! I use to lube the end of the springs also. And i do this since 2008. Since 2013 i work with 4 XLi Edge. Keep up the good work!👍🖖

Bro I have some problems plz help me

I have 82-70 with the XLI tech. The table assembly drive came apart . Put the new one on and now the sweep is catching the pins when the scissors pick them up . The table doesn’t return to the old home position . After running a few cycles it keeps staying lower and lower to the pins on the deck. Any suggestions on what the problem is?

can you provide check list for cleaning

Good video

Wish I had seen this a Earlier, just spent a shift trying to figure out my sweep trouble last week. I even changed the gearbox before thinking to check shaft/crank arm. It had turned out to be a worn out keyway in crank arm. Awesome video, immediately subscribed 👍

You didn't unplug the motors till 18:26 ! You had your body parts in the sweep arms with power ON ! During my 50 years behind the machines I never worked on "live" machines.

You should do a video on nylon roller adjustments on the distributor.

Question- ( after a brief how I got to it) so I started working at a bowling alley, and they keep having problems with the sweeps getting stuck down, so we have to rest them often.. so I asked him why; he just state that the pins are off ( offset) but I don't fully believe that when it happened today several times on one lane, and several lanes. So my interest is to make these old AMC machine to run better... so Question is; is it more an oil/ grease problem then offset problem ?? Thanks for response. -Preston

Just picked up a maintenance job 3 weeks ago at a local bowling alley that’s in the process of rebuilding their name. New to bowling alley maintenance. We’re struggling with a pair of lanes that’s damaging balls. This video has helped me tremendously. I’ll keep following. Please keep posting.

Description is click baited but overall great video.

hi man, thank you for your video it's really great, I am the technician of 24 lane 82/90 in France since 2 month so i am à newby ^^", I have a small question, how do you do to reassemble the 2 right and left springs of the front roller if one of the 2 springs breaks? thank you again for your advice and techniques Bye bro

Great video! I’m a recently hired head mechanic, trained under someone else for a couple years but never got any training about clutch service. Helped a lot, thank you!

i must be a old timer lol, I worked the 8270's at Paramus Bowling in New Jersey while i was going to college, this must be the newest AMF pinsetters, i'm noticing no chassis, what model is this?

nice review

also thanku for the training, ur doing a good job for us all. thanku againg, frm Rick, Greatfalls, MT

we need more training on changing out Positive ball belt assy. on the 82-90XL N 90XLi appreciate d

I love your work ethic, attention to detail and how your machines are kept so clean. @31:25 There are also mechanics who have been doing this a lot longer than you & they don't have half your knowledge & skills. I've got one such guy like this at my center. It drives me nuts how he cobbles things together, leaves tools all over the place, doesn't clean anything. 🤬 I wish I could fire him, but I'm not the boss.

I do not miss that job.

Great Video - Thanks.

I wish you could record yourself Bowling on this channel like a Lane Test.

I go into an amf center for a meet with the gm for a mechabic position. Not sure if I got the job but i feel the same way you do. I want the industry to strive

use cut carpet to lay on pindeck then pull carpet out from the front as it will slide and protect your lane .

LBS are a great design . 32 years working on them . are those edge versions ???

Hey dude. I'm a mechanic at my bowling center but I'm extremely new and I have to teach myself everything. Your videos help a lot thank you. Would it be possible for you to show a sweep adjustment. One of mine is going to need one soon.

I wanna work at my one and only Local Mall Bowling Center in my hometown but they had 16 junk 82-90 XL’s and their 3 Mechanics aren’t maintaining nor cleaning them. I would rather work on their pinsetters STRICTLY by shut down like 4 Lanes at a time for adjusting and checking cause I’m a League Bowler and you don’t see that much Pinsetter Mechanics in Bowling Centers that bowls professionally during their Practice or League Night. Plus I want to give a better experience for League Bowlers, I don’t care for Open Bowlers cause our League bowls at that center all the time nowadays after our original home got burned down which was a 24 Lane Brunswick Center in another mall that had junk Brunswick GS-92’s and crappy Brunswick AS Scorings but at least their service were great and they made a ton of money for hosting fun tournaments to bring people into Leagues or the Sport or Bowling and they have plans replacing some of their equipment like the Brunswick AS Scorings for Brunswick Vector and recover their 6 Dead Lanes (or Lanes that were failed to be repaired) but never saw the light cause it’s in the inferno, man good times with that place being great than the lazy AMF house today with lack of promoting leagues but at least they let us host. When I see their junk 82-90’s, I kept saying that I wish these were cleaned or have Brunswick instead of AMF cause I expect proper maintenance and also I’m an huge fan of Brunswick from Bowling Balls to Pinsetters and Brunswick had Pinsetter Enthusiasts or Pinsetter Fans in one small community here on CZcams that made Mini Bowling Alleys that were based or copied from Real Brunswick Pinsetters, nobody made Mini AMF Pinspotters today here on CZcams.

The deadpoint of the sweep is on spot 2-3 not the 4-5-6. Its more easy to pull the gearbox off the shaft in that position😉💪

Very interesting, and THANK YOU for shooting it properly, as in horizontally, NOT vertically.

HORIZONTAL PLEASE ! Vertical video is useless.

Damn wish i had newer machines. My machines like 30 something years old

Болт крышки кабель-канала можно открутить (ослабить) ключом или пассатижами. Если снял мотор, зачем его поставил назад? Чтоб редуктор потяжелее был? Все равно замена редуктора, зачем его два раза снимать - ставить? А редуктор можно отремонтировать, там разбивает шестерню, ее заменить дешевле чем редуктор.

Nice vid. You should try the clutch lube A.M.F. has. I used oil for years. Then I decided to give that lube a shot. It keeps the clutches lubricated for 6 months at my center (24 lane, medium lineage). Been using it for about 3 years now. It has cut down on replacing worn pinion gears and clutch plates. All I have to do is grease the stop blades once a month between cleanings.

I might sound like a pussy now, but please consider disconnecting the two motor cables when you go all in with your hands and head.

Great video, clear and understandable, and without shaking video. Wil follow your work.

Hey, thanks for sharing this video. How come you did not talk about checking the front roller? Have you ever thought about doing a video on rebuilding front rollers and what to check for and or how to greet them properly? If so let me know I would like to do a video with you on showing how to do the proper techniques and why it is critical to check them.. keep up the good work.!
