That sound of the A/A2/Jetbacks are sooo iconic
The machines look so clean. Everything looks clean, you could eat off the floor back there.
I know! I love it when anything is clean rather than dusty or the parts of the pinsetters being worn or rusty. :)
Indeed one of the cleanest a2 I've ever seen ever the pins don't even wobble
oh, a very nice A2 Pinsetter video! big like!
Thanks!
Greatest Pinsetter ever !
I can't believe how fast these run with the small pulleys. I can't believe how clean and noise free they are too.
We run ours at A speed. Probably why they've lasted 50 years
I like it so much that Brunswick A-2 pinsetters best! It look very nice and clean!
You know what they say, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." ;)
Always a cool experience behind the lanes! Also, was in birb bowl during your livestream the other day lol.
those are some nice AMFLITE b o w l i n g p i n s
I Worked on A-2's for over 3 years in a 40 lane house. My boss told me 7 minds went into engineering this particular model. Good times!
Best pinsetter ever, along with the A model.
I agree!
I recently moved to Connecticut. They have a center with A2s slowed down to A speed it looks like. I'd love to get a video of them, but gonna have to know and get permission from the staff first.
Our machines actually run at "JetBack" speed, not A2. THAT is a little faster. Also, on rare occasions, in this case: after the party, I asked John Grundy (one of the owners of Luray Lanes) for a tour of the back. Simple. I may not have got enough footage just yet, but when I get a part-time job as a pin chaser at age 15, (this year in May), I'll be able to get more footage, like Rep2369.
Sounds good man!
By far! Will last three lifetimes!
AMF pins in a Brunswick machine. Heresy! :-)
I'm also seeing Brunswick pins in AMF machines. Lol
AMF makes "Brunswick" pins..
i like a2
21 pins make that machine faster
I highly agree. Most of these machines are running 17-19 pins at a time! It's not fast enough to reload pins for the next frame! 😅
@@TheGamingKingpin with 19 pins you never have a full deck to set after a strike. With 21 you have ten set, ten in the deck and one in the turret. We always ran 21 in our A-2. So much quicker
You always run 21 pins.
My center runs 15 pins. So slow.
@@Walker-nr1mz That’s horrible
That pinsetter looks like a Japanese A-2 Pinsetter. Some Japanese A-2 Pinsetters can be in the United States.
It's not exactly "Japanese." The deck shields (the part that covers the front part of the setting table (that sets up the pins)) are just different from others you may have seen.
No, that was my first thought too. These deck shields are from the Japanese machines. Several parts were shipped over to Japan from America and assembled there and other parts were already Japanese. You may likely find the machines' motors are made by Toshiba.
I guess why it seems/ runs like a Japanese A2 pinsetter is the scotch yoke action characteristic of Japanese models (as oppose to the standard lowering link) shown while the deck sets the pins. One sure way to tell, besides the motors/ wiring, is to check the serial number on the label, if it has a J before the number. Then it would be Japanese for sure...................Looks like ovens?? Looks more like a Laundromat to me......Very nice looking bowling alley, by the way. Brunswick 2000 ball returns with AMF style ball racks attached, that's unique!!
Japanese machines will also likely have Japanese writing on the back panels or seen on the very top though these could be removed.
WHERE'S YA MATCHING BRINSWICK SCORE KING OR MAX PINS LURAY LANES???
but wow das a clean pin-setting machine area
Slow those machines down it will only save you the hassle of broken parts later on

Why don’t you show how it really works. Show the 1-1 or 2-1 or the gearbox clutch.. how about the turret clutch. ..
I have a behind the scenes video too! Go on my channel!
