so the decisions on how to equip centers were based more on the proprietors' business models than on how the machines functioned. Brunswick only sold their machines they refused to lease them. For example, Rose Bowl Lanes in Roseville, Michigan and Town N Country Lanes in Flint, Michigan were Brunswick-equipped centers acquired by AMF from Conbow in 1997 ( ).īack in the 50s and 60s, and maybe even into the 70s, AMF only leased their machines they refused to sell them. Many AMF centers have Brunswick machines (and sometimes even scorers) simply because during the 1990s AMF acquired many existing Brunswick-equipped centers. My understanding is that Brunswick wanted a new machine to replace the A-2, and it was cheaper to buy a European company that had developed a new tenpin machine (adapted from a ninepin machine that utilized expired AMF patents) than to develop their own design from scratch.

No reason to sweep deadwood if there is no deadwood to sweep. In fact, on AMF's if you throw one in the gutter or pick off only a 7 or 10 pin, the sweep will drop, and immediately come back up without cycling. If you notice, the table on the Brunswick drops the table AFTER the second ball to feel for pins for scoring, whereas AMF uses a camera for scoring. With that said, it is not as fast as QubicaAMF's 90XLI machine, which is the same design as the original 82-70's. If you notice, just about every arena setting uses the Brunswick GSX machine. It takes the best of basic mechanical uses and the best of basic electronic uses and made a very reliable pinsetter. The design of it is very simple, yet complicated at the same time. I think the story is that they bought the design from some German company.

I don't believe the Brunswick GS Series pinsetters were a Brunswick design. View Member Profile Find Member's Topics Find Member's Posts SkittleCar1
