I lived right next door to Continental Lanes in Roseville Michigan in 1965 . We had 54 lanes of these. I say we, because this was my hang out as a kid and I started out as the kid emptiying the ashtrays from the scoring stands. Eventually I was running the oiling machines on the lanes, then started doing ball return and simple blackouts. Over time by the time I was 11 I was actually doing table lifting with the cranks and resetting the "brain" and timing during blackout or sweep jams. This was the best time of my life, thanks for the video, brought back many good memories. Now older, Continental Lanes is gone forever and a gym.
A well done video. Nice smooth panning. Awesome machines. A few rubber toggle bumpers installed here and there on the pin elevator and those machines would be considered perfect for their age.
It's an 82-30 6525 and the last model AMF put out. The dist pans have the empty hole for the counter flipper. The frame meter in located by the solenoid.
An 82-45 is an 82-30 converted from the original vertical ball lift, To either a kicker, humpback, or PBL style ball return system, The ball lift system on this pair is a PBL with an AMF light ball sensor assembly.

Thanks Dario
Positive ball lifts in an 82/45.......impressive
+Lou smith thanks ;)
I wonder how much work that took !!!!
@@jimcrawford5603 if it's anything like converting 82/70s from kicker to PBL.....you can do a pair in about 2 hours or so.
Good ole days with all those moving parts in the respot cells. Would get crunched up quite often.
What is the difference from an 82-30 and a 82/45
82-45 is the European model.
It's an 82-30 6525 and the last model AMF put out. The dist pans have the empty hole for the counter flipper. The frame meter in located by the solenoid.
82-45 European version and support counter it's self-made

Exactly. No such thing as an 82-45. This is an 82-30.
It's European version of 30' S in US and it's 82 45 version in Europe

82-45 is the conversion they came out with for the open end pinwheels and kicker lift conversion when the 70's came out in '63.
