📼Video Summary:
This bowling pinsetter machine is called a Brunswick GSX Pinsetter. It's commonly used in the United States and in other areas of the world when playing Ten-pin Bowling. The Ball Cushion Assembly absorbs the impact of the bowling ball. The knocked over pins are called "Deadwood". The Bowling ball makes it's way to the Ball Accelerator to bring ball back to where the bowlers are. The pins get knocked into the Ball Pit, moved on the Transport Band, then up on the Pin Elevator, and then falls on the Distributor. This is the part that distributes the pins to one of 10 Pin Stations, and then down below to the Setting Table. The Sweep Wagon moves the knocked over pins off the lane. The Drive Frame consists of 3 motors to keep the machine moving.

@@JaredOwen so the pin detector plate tells the setting table whether to activate the spotting tongue or to release that tiny latch right? If so why you haven't mentioned that? Even it was not a strike how to set all ten pins if I want to start again? So far I have not seen bowling in person so I don't know much about that but for me it's better to know the mechanism rather than knowing bowling ✌️

When I was a kid, I once asked one of the workers in the bowling center about how the pinsetters work. The man grabbed my hand, led me to the back of the pinsetters, and kindly explained how it all works. I never expected him to answer such a random question from a random kid so kindly. However, that when I was little so I forgot most of what he said. That's why I'm glad Jared made this video. It felt pleasant to review what I learned that day, and also remember that kind man.

@jodybingo
@jodybingo 3 роки тому
there was a detail he did miss and it is pushing me to look it up - out of range pins. It seems odd, to me, that a pinsetter would use switches in the deck to count pins. Usually cameras are used and they can detect out of range pins. This set up would not record a single pin during an out of range. I'm gonna have to look this one up now (p.s. I am a league bowler, a mechanic for A1 and A2 pinsetters)
@john20326
@john20326 3 роки тому
@@jodybingo I was wondering that too. Usually, on most pin setters, if there is an out of range pin, and the pin setter cannot go all the way down, the machine’s onboard computer skips the sweep phase, go to second ball, and raises the pinsetter and sweep. The process of that happening, I’m not sure.
@jodybingo
@jodybingo 3 роки тому
@@john20326 on the A1 and A2 machines there is no onboard computer. The machine detects that the deck has stopped due to an out of range pin and the mechanic/pinchaser has to intervene (remove deadwood then pull a lever which prevents the rake from sweeping. In the case of the machine being showed in this video I don’t think it would use switches under the table as an out of range would force the bowlers to manually enter the pinfall. Cameras count the remaining pins whether there is an OOR or not.

funny story. Back in the 80's I was working on a Friday night when a machine broke. I went back to look at it, and it was a cast metal part that had broken that held the pins setter in position, and it couldn't work without it. Of course we didn't have a replacement part in house because this part never broke, so I ran back up front and looked at what I could use. Of course we have lots of shoe laces for bowling shoes, so I grabbed a bunch and went back and wrapped them tightly around the cast part to hold it together, and it worked! We couldn't get repair people in till Monday, and when they saw it, they said the part would have to be ordered, and it would take a week of more to get it. I asked what we should do till then? They said "go buy more shoe laces!!" It ran like that for over 2 weeks before it could be replaced properly. I used to refer to this time as when "we running on a shoe string!!"

For sure. I hadnt really thought about there being any other way at a normal bowling alley until I went to one with a string pinsetter. Gotta say, i dont like it nearly as much as this type which ive seen virtually everywhere else i have ever bowled. The strings sometimes clothesline a pin that shouldnt of fallen lol. We called it a string spare. It also often awards a strike for 9 pins if the 10th got wobbled pretty good (must pull on string enough to make it think it fell). Where I was going with that is, im sure the string one is a lot more maintenance free then this!

This has to be one of the most complex and innovative piece of machinery I've ever seen. I was at a bowling alley just a few weeks ago actually and I've always been fascinated by the pinsetter machine and how it all works. I've really learned a lot from watching this about what all the parts are called and how the pins get reset into the pinsetter table, how the remaining pins get lifted and how the mechanism keeps scores, and even how the machine returns the balls back to the ball rack. It's astonishing to think how much stuff is actually going on all at the same time by this amazing machinery and it's all happening in such quick time which is even more impressive. Must be a great job working on these great machines.

I flicked my finger out for the switch. I had one chance to find it, and somehow did. Great illustrating, Jared. My deepest admiration.

Very cool animation, well done! I worked part time as a bowling alley night technician from 1977-1981. We had Brunswick A-2 Pinsetters. We did daily maintenance and corrected common issues with the machines when in use. If memory serves, the A-2 is from circa late-1950's. A ball wheel at the back took the ball from the pit and sent it on its way back upfront. Instead of the elevator, a another wheel at the rear of the machine took the pins to the top for loading in a turret. Fun place to work as a kid, even at $2.10 an hour. Had plenty of time to do my homework during league play, but lost some of my hearing because the decibel level was very high for 2-4 hours a night. OSHA was nowhere in sight at that time...

WOW! I just saw this and it was an incredible video. Back in the ancient ages (I'm 84 now and this was around 1955 or so when I was a teenager) our local Masonic Temple had a small, 6 lane if I remember correctly, bowling alley. I worked there after school and on weekends as a pinsetter. We had manual machines that were basically setting tables that we loaded by hand and pushed down on a large lever that moved the table down to set the pins. We worked 2 lanes by 1 pinsetter. We had to manually lift the ball to the ball return and it rolled down a ramp to accelerate it to the ball return table. We sat on a bench between our 2 lanes waiting on the bowlers to bowl. If one of the other pinsetters didn't show up we had to cover 4 lanes. That was always interesting, especially when leagues were bowling. If the pins needed to be reset the bowler would set the ball down on the lane and we would reset the pins. Once in a while a bowler would forget and set the ball down while he dried his hands or something and the pins would be reset when they should not have been. Then we had to manually remove the pins that had been knocked down so he could try to make his spare. One time a bowler, who bowled a very fast ball, bowled and when the ball struck the pins one pin bounced off the side of the ball return, flew up and across the lane and where I was sitting and grazed my forehead right at my eyebrow barely cutting the skin. I returned the ball, put the pins in the setter and while doing that the bowler saw the blood on my forehead and I think he nearly had a heart attack. One inch in any direction and I probably would have been dead! Fortunately a good cleaning and a large band-aid let me finish my shift. Thinking about it now makes me shudder.

I am 64 years old. When I was 12 years old in 1972, I was a pinsetter at a summer camp. The pinsetter (The person) had to pick up the pins that were knocked down, then load them into the setting rack. The pins were set up by the setting rack by the pinsetter pressing the set button. In order to avoid getting hit by the bowling ball, the pinsetter had to jump up onto a padded bench. Back in those days, I was amazed how ingenious that was. Things have changed a bit since then.
