Automatic pinsetters fascinated me when I was a little kid. I would wonder exactly how they worked, being able to reposition an entire set of pins as quickly as they do. I first bowled in summer 1967 at a candlepin alley at Weirs Beach, NH. The machines were made by the Bowl Mor company. Their logo was on the sweepers of their machines, in a very bold , slickly but simply stylized font.
This is absolutely amazing! .. however, I have thought about pin setters a lot this past year, and there has to be a better and simpler way of doing this. Currently systems use way too many moving parts. There seems to me a lot of room for simplification and improvement with these machines.
GD EVENING MR. KING , This is Exactly What i Am Trying To Build For My Own PersonaL Use For RecreationaL Fun in My HOME , . . . Can You PLease Make Out a List Of All The Used Parts & Pieces i Would Need To Get One Started For My Home , . . . . So That You Know i Already Have a LANE , BALL & PiNS To Start.
There are some things that I would like to see you test on your mini 82-70 such as, out of range, can the sweep take a ball hit like its full size cousin can and how it handles a gutter ball or a corner pin hit.
Looks like motors and transmission for windshield wipers. Thats what I thought about using when I wanted to make one. They cycle perfectly as well as being very durable.
@@Kingscoolstuff Yes they do have quite a bit of torque. It was very easy to spot for my after being an auto technician for over 20 years. Very nice machine you have there!!
I am working on a 1/2 scale pinsetter also. Where did you find the the conveyor belts, pulleys,etc? I used to work on Brunswick A-2's. looks like a few parts might be from 82/70's.
That is insane that someone could make a pinsetter from scratch, handmade, and half the size!
And the best part! No pins on strings!

Iv always wanted to see how the back of a bowling alley works thanks for the awesome vid!
This is the coolest thing i've ever seen! Good job!
I wish I had that I use it everyday 24/7 all night all year for patty’s fin leagues that’s really cool
Fantastic looking machine. Just incredible.
Love your AMF lil rake!
Pretty nice set up!
i’ve seen a few half scale pinsetters on youtube, but this is next level.

the "can the sweep take a ball hit" part is called failure testing.

Your absolutely correct, they are windshield wiper motors. They have a lot of torq.

Just great stuff 🎩🎩off to Andy , Very Cool 😎, I’ve been Servicing 82/70s for many Years , Andy do you Service them as well? Thanks again 👍🏻🙏🏼
I love bowling very much!
can you show us all the electrical stuff and the audio equipment?
Have you ever had a pin jam on this?
Winsome makes custom mini bowling pins
Needs some new pins lol when he gets new pins make a video how he puts them in the lane that would be cool
I'm thinking it should be easy to put them in. Just toss them under the pinsetter and let them machine take them in. I want one of these things :-)
i like your lanes
If had this, I don't know if I would bowl on it or play with the machine all day.
Looks like the carpet needs to be replaced.
You are correct, it definitely on its last leg.
Could you please show how the distributor works?
very incredible! i'm just dreaming of a lane like this in my house! how long did it take to build this machine?
This one took my friend about a year or so.
Wow just amazing what you guys are doing! Much respect from the netherlands :)
Where did you get the pins
i wonder what AMF thinks if this
but how come how come the ball no wont back???
If that was for sale how much would it be?
Unfortunately this one is not for sale but if your interested in something similar, check out this website. Ballbowler. com
me: *types in a-2 pinsetter
youtube: interesting, this looks like an a-2! here
(im not saying this video is bad, im just pointing out)
hi abotu ball retunr how u did it? you have video?
Do you know andy he could open a half scale bowling business
Do you have a digital scoring system?
Yes, everything is just like if you go to a regular bowling alley. It's all fully automatic.
@@Kingscoolstuffdo you have a video of it? I'm actually trying to put together a plan to build a 2 lane alley. Any help would be great
How much would one of these go for if you built another one?
how much to buy one?
There is a company that sells a different version for around $25,000 but that includes a complete setup.
What is it
