Hope you enjoy this video ! Pinsetter s/n 3690 built in 1956. Pinsetter and lane from a closed church in Ft Worth, parts acquired from various other sources in Ohio, thanks for watching the videos of our 20 foot stub lane setup In Farmers Branch, Texas. Check out all our other videos. Look for us on Facebook Garage Bowling Alkey www.facebook.c... and Vintage Bowling and Collectibles www.facebook.c...
I love the vintage Brunswick masking unit, with the red crown that lights up when you get a strike. So many happy memories!
Bowling alley is already awesome enough but that '57 Bel Air just makes it even better!
These AMF glow pins look so cool, especially with the black light shining on them as well
I’ll have to do more. Maybe masking unit up and the glow lights up on the machine as well
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you ! I try to get creative in each video

I wish I have bowling alley like that in my house
I wish I had a bowling alley like that at my airfield
That is a short lane...! Great idea to enjoy bowling in your garage. So your 1956 "A" model is about the same age as the 32 model "A" pinsetters I worked on in 1969-1972 in St. Pete. Our old pinsetter started having rake arms, ball cushion arms and other metal parts breaking. It seemed like we had to weld something weekly. Loved the job but hated washing all the bowling twice a month. We cleaned areas on the pinsetters daily and major cleaning weekly. The customers like our bowling alley because at the end of a league they had clean hands & shirts unlike the other bowling alleys in the area. FYI - I am just east of you in Rowlett. My current project is helping restore a 40 year old minicomputer designed and built in Richardson, TX ( RUclips search for "I Bought a Minicomputer from 1980" we have over 25 videos now and a running system. ).
You'll have to come by sometime. I'll check out the video too I keep plenty busy with 1 pinsetter, I couldn't imagine 32 to keep up with at 66 years old (and still running strong). I LOVE the pinsetter and how it works.
I was the mechanic at an AMF bowling alley decades ago and moved on to have a career in R&D engineering. I learned a lot from working on those machines, the day I was hired the mechanic that was supposed to train me quit so I had to learn very quickly on my own. I liked working on them because you could easily see the issues and correct them most of the time. The heart of the machine was a stepper relay and it controlled many other relays, had a clear plastic cover so you could see it arcing and sparking as it progressed they it's routine.
Lately I have been thinking about those days, thinking about how enjoyable it would be to have a pinsetter in my garage. I am happy to see someone has done that and I bet you enjoy it. We used to bowl late into the night after hours and was really fun times
Great memory ! Thank you for sharing it. It is nice to have one right outside the door in the garage to keep me busy and out of trouble. Tonight we watched our first live video, it’s surprising how much it’s changed ! Like you I kindof dove into learning at a children’s home. We got 6 model As donated and I just started tinkering and watching them work then learning how to fix things that weren’t right. I drove Rip Owens crazy calling him all the time asking questions but it fascinated me watching all the mechanical parts doing “their thing” like a symphony. Then I got a job working afternoon/evenings at a big center end really learned a lot with 52 and 58 machines to babysit. Good times!
@@GarageBowlingAlley that is a lot of machines to keep up with. I had 22 lanes and they kept me busy for the first 6 months then after that period of intense repair not much was needed. I do miss working with those machines and now...being in R&D engineering....I would have really enjoyed working to develope those pin setting machines. I only know the AMF but have briefly seen the Brunswick a few times and they looked equally impressive
Really cool that you have your own setup. I found a pin setting machine today in Pa...only 400. But my wife is not ok with it ....happy for you
I'm kinda in your old shoes now. My boss just bought the bowling center in town and told me I was now in charge of the mechanics and maintenance. I'm struggling through it but luckily the old guy that worked here many years ago came by and offered to help whenever I need it. This channel has also been a big help when I need to figure out how something is supposed to work. 😀
@@skylanes sounds enjoyable.....I really miss working on those pinsetters
I'm in a very similar situation. 6 months in and thinking of finding something else. There's been very few people to train me. I've had to learn on my own or from forums and videos like this guy's. Got any advice for a young guy starting out? I work on A2s
Black light is one of my favorite lightings for a bowling alley
Awesome...imagine if you left the panel up and had a blue light shining up on the turret to!!! 👍😎
That can be arranged !
@@GarageBowlingAlley WOW! An A2 exhibition....like no other😁
hi bowling alley i love your bowling is the best
Thank you 😎🎳
As a center mechanic and proprietor I would like to suggest- if possible, definitely re-shim and level the foul line area and front of the lane. I would also oil the first couple feet to protect the wood if you don’t already. I love your videos and setup!!!!!
I do oil the lane I didn’t today before I bowled but I usually spritz the heads. The 2 feet before to 2 feet after the foul line is level but then the lane slopes up as I couldn’t get the pin deck any lower and I couldn’t have the approach any higher so there’s a slight incline that levels off just before the pin deck, which is level.

That's a badass Red crown fascia
Thank you ! We have several and change out from time to time
They look fantastic!
Thank you !
This Brunswick is a classic
Early model s/n 3690 from 1956 at that !
@@GarageBowlingAlley that's great
Nice car you got there! I love old cars, and that single bowling lane is super cool!
Thank you ! Trixie has a front row seat.

I love it bro 💯
Thank you 🎳😎
That is really cool. Talk about home lane advantage.
It’s harder than it looks being only 20 foot
@@GarageBowlingAlley you make it look easy and fun.
It is ! Mostly. Hopefully after Covid we can open up to more people
I know the probability of either the ball or pin bouncing out of the lane and hitting one of the cars are slim to none, but it does give me anxiety that the cars are so close to it lmao
You and me both! Especially with Trixie (the '57 Chevy) sitting so close. ~Aaron
You could set up some kind of wall on that side but then you would have to film from the other side to see.
NOW THAT’S AWESOME!!!!!’
Thank you!
I wish i had one of those
STRIKE YOU TARDS YRS AGO

You should do a New Years Eve special on glow pins guys
We will be live NYE for sure. I think the glows may get their turn too 😎🎳
Cool bowling
Thank you 😁🎳
Reminds me of the good old days in the basement with the tin cans and softball. I see the coke machine... but where's the pinball machine?!
If we had room, we would definitely have one! I would like to have one! ~Aaron
Awesome
Thank you 😁🎳😁🎳
Man you gotta make that garage longer - expansion time! Looks like fun though
I wish! We’re landlocked in where it is. It could be longer but never regulation where we are. One day that will hopefully change.
3:45 Skinny Jeans lol
The glow pins are cool!🏆
They’re fun. I need to do a masking unit up with the lights on the machine as well. Too bad the deck shield isn’t glow as well!
@@GarageBowlingAlley l am glad you saved this machine and l'm sure it's happy too!🎳
Ale fajnie że masz 🎳 w garażu
Fully functional just wish it was full length BUT do what you can with what you have
Give me your garage, I NEED IT!!! ❤❤❤❤
I want it too!😂
Brunswick A2 pinsetter model?
Cool
It’s an A2 converted original A. Built in 1956 sn 3690
This is awesome
Thank you 😁🎳
@@GarageBowlingAlley yea no problem
nice pins
High perf cross conveyor belts. Mask pindication works. Machine looks very clean. Very nice.
And the crown back light plus strike indicator Even AMF magic score ! All functioning
I wish I could afford a house with a cinema and a bowling alley just to keep me entertained during a lockdown
The bowling lane wasn't as expensive as some would think. Bowling alleys are sadly closing left and right, definitely look into it! ~Aaron

Do you have any tips for a to had Bowing or something because I am trouble with my approach
I saw that shot almost like my ten pin air ball lol
Way cool!
The white pins I put a nickname called the Milk Bottles, the neon ones the Juice Bottles, the bowling pin looks like a bottle
Good nicks! I hadn’t thought of those before
yeah colored pins
This is awesome! How often do you oil the lane?
Usually every other week before we bowled. I spritz the heads. Gotta keep some friction in the back ends
Amazing set up, but does it help practice for regular length game because you are essentially bowling almost straight so can't practice the same hooks and adjustments as on 60ft lane?
It’s more for loosening up before league if needed but just for fun in the garage. I did all that Saturday and Sunday then Monday night league I started with 279 game 1 and front 9 second game. So it’s not messing me up evidently.
Could you show how and where the pindicator connects and is activated on the masking unit? Thanks. Jim
Great question! I will have Rob work on a video of that. ~Aaron
😎🤓
That looks cool can I come over and bowl to 😉😉
Anytime you’re in dallas.....
Do one at night with the lights out. It would look really cool with the pin light alone!!!!
Wish I had an actual star shield masking unit! But yes I’ll do a night video lights out sometime. It would look nice
I can do that
do you try to keep the ball under a certain speed, or are you able to throw it as fast as you want?
Average speed. I even tried to pick up the 7-10 this evening about 15 times but I couldn’t get it to bounce out. But I was throwing above average Speed at them
The regular AMF bowling pins
I’ve got a basic set of amflites too I may put back in tomorrow to bowl a game on by request
Great
Glowing Pins
You should try to make a 7-10
I tried. Now if I invert the curtain it might happen! I’ll try that.
@@GarageBowlingAlley film it
I tried about 15 times. Got close twice. I’ll keep trying tomorrow. I flipped the curtain so it’s backward which helps.
@@GarageBowlingAlley my burning question is will it be a video?
Absolutely. I wouldn’t miss the opportunity!
Outta curiosity, How much did it cost you to get the machine and get everything up and running?
No real price tag but machine was next to nothing. Removing it from a 2nd story building was the biggest cost. Lane pieces were next to nothing, again no one wanted them so I was solo It was just the work of removing lanes and machines from a 2nd story building. Masking unit and some ball return parts was a few hundred bucks. Then it came down to time and creativity on my part building it
So how you know how to fix the setter if it broke down? Did you used to work at a alley?
I used to. Then hadn’t worked on one in years but it was like riding a bike once I had all the pieces putting it back together again and running it. I love all the fine tuning of it. There’s a video way down at the bottom of the list which was the first time I turned it on and cycled it.
Yes. I used to. Luckily I hadn’t forgotten much when I got on this one. Plus luckily this one was in great shape and adjustment it didn’t need too much
Hey there. Have you ever tried shooting at the gold colored PBA pins? :) If so, what do you think about shooting at them? :) If not, when do you think you may give that a try? :) Thank you! :)
I don’t have any of those. That would be cool ! But not sure where I could borrow or get a cheap/free set of those
Should have a set of gold pins in tomorrow !
I see you have some nice neon beer signs, could you turn on the beer signs the next time you do a new bowling video?
We are already thinking of one with all the signs on and lights out. We have one that doesn’t light as the switch is broken. We have a neighbor who’s promised to fix it.
I’d like to see a video on how to clear a deck jam
I did one on clearing blackouts about 2 weeks ago. Scroll down. If not I can do another
What a neat set up! But it seems to me that the actual lane should be a few feet longer in order to make it more of a challenge and more fun. Nice cars and atmosphere.
Thank you! It is no easier here than a bowling center. If we could’ve made it longer we definitely would have, but the garage is only 40ft wide.
57 chevy, cool...
That’s Trixie 😁
What's the cost for a set up like that, and curious how much in electricity it would be to run?
Cost wasn't as much as many would guess. You can pretty easily find the pinsetters for free and you just have to pay to remove/move it. For the electricity costs, it isn't noticed in the bills, so not very much. ~Aaron
@@GarageBowlingAlley thanks for the info, Finding a pinsetter for free around where I live is next to impossible lol. Bowling is a rare sport now, not many bowling alleys around anymore. Most have closed in the early 2000's, Enjoy your videos, miss the sounds from the alley
This is amazing! How were you able to do this?
Local church closing out. Lucky to have a 4 car garage with extra room. A strong desire to own and have a Pinsetter. The planets aligned and here we are.
@@GarageBowlingAlley That's awesome!
The 9 pin be like: "I weeble and I wobble and I don't fall down." Then you barely nicked that 9 pin to make it go down.
I didn’t wanna bruise it :-)
Half a Messenger there
What are all the types of pins you have
Amf Qubica glow pins
Also old score kings. Mixers. Amflites. New modern score kings .
I would like to see amflites in the future
I just did one with the smflites but not bowling. I’ll throw a game on them tomorrow possibly.
How do you et a pinsetter in tour garage ?
Where did you find this machine. That's too good
We got it from a church in Ft. Worth that was tearing down their rec building. ~Aaron
What if you made the Bowling ball glow?
Guess I need to find a glow bowling ball next ! I’ll ask around
My Pyramid Pathogen ball is glow in the dark.
I need one like that to do some glow bowling
Must be one of pinsetter made by Otis elevator company if serial # is below39000 then it is
It has 1956 cast in the 1:1 cam. It’s one of the originals ! Mean green machine
@@GarageBowlingAlley it is an Otis Otis made the first 39000 machines for Brunswick the Brunswick serial numbers pick up at 50000 not know where the other 11,000 went
I can't do a bowling video because I don't work in a bowling center anymore.
If you are ever in Dallas, you can bowl in The Garage! ~Aaron
Thank you for the offer, but I live in Niagara Falls NY
How? Did you make that??
One piece at a time 😬. I should put a video together of the pieces as it went up. I’ll see if I can’t figure out how to do that.
Pure luck and about 60 plus tries
Oh wow
@@GarageBowlingAlley how long did it take
@@ns_railfanner7299 It took a couple of months to get all the pieces set and get it running right. Time well spent!
What did you do? Just casually buying a bowling lane dont mind me 😂
It was only going to be the pinsetter, then we added a lane, and now The Garage is packed with all things bowling. lol ~Aaron
Is this an A2 or a straight A with a conversion?
S/N 3690 from 1956. Converted A to A2. I want to convert it back!
@@GarageBowlingAlley do it! I worked at an 18-lane house with straight As and they were butter smooth!
I’m working on sourcing the parts. I’ll be the first person ever I’m sure to modify and A2 to an A
What's your highest game/series on your lane?
Josh one time got a 285 in one game and over 700 for the series.
Do you have any small crowns laying around I need a couple for my 60's pin hood cover Thanks Tim
I actually might. I’ll have to look
@@GarageBowlingAlley Thanks
Is that an Brunswick "A" pinsetter?
It’s an A2 converted A but I have it running at A speed
Imagine owning a bowling machine worth more than your house and a lane that makes you worse at bowling 🤣
It’s nice that you think my Pinsetter is worth that much
How long is the lane?
20 foot as opposed to 60. I hope to have more room one day for a full length setup
Where Did you get the glow pins I want some for my machine
Bowlmor Addison had them. The manager gave me 2 cases
Have you ever bowled a 300 game?
Yes. Not in the garage but I have 5 or 6 in league. 2 800s and one was an 858 😇🎳
Can you put quibicamf pins inside
Is that regulation length
I wish. 20 foot is the best I could do
Is that 60 feet ?
20 feet. I wish I had room for a full setup !
How much deadwoods u got
Never enough 🎳😎
Oh
I’m from mexico Jalisco Guadalajara and I bowl in magno-bowl
The problem is, why are there blue lights.
The "blue" lights are the black lights that makes the pins glow! That's not a problem, it is intentional. ~Aaron
Where did you get the pins from?
The glow pins came from Addison Bowlero
Amazon
How do you build something like this
With a lot of creativity 😎🎳 it started with 4 holes being drilled in our new slab. Lots of measuring. Taping. Trial and error
That's a pretty short lane ngl should've made it alot longer for a better hook too
This is a Model A
Power never wanted to come back here
Luckily we never lost power here. Sadly so many neighborhoods around us were off mostly for 2 or 3 days.
Ok
AMF pins on Brunswick equipment? Blasphemy lol 😝
I’m definitely a Brunswick fan! The score kings will be back in shortly.
Sally
We always use AMF Amflites in our Brunswick setters - The Boss thought they carried a little better
@@JohnScarchilli I always thought AMF carried better. Livelier. But with Brunswick lanes need Brunswick pins 😬. But it’s all good. I appreciate your RUclips
Greek-Church?
How was the snow storm it was bad for me XD
Most everything shut down for most of a week. Some had daylight hours but closed early. Store shelves were empty. Luckily we never lost power but a lot of businesses and houses did. Now they’re dealing with broken water pipes
@@GarageBowlingAlley huh.
Uhuh
Tyry
3:22 -_-
That’s what always happens to me when I bowl
How do I get bowling pins
Ask your local bowling alley, they likely have some they could sell.
