![]() ![]() The new assemblies proved hugely successful, and most “A” machines were converted. ![]() By 1964 they had completed the 82-70B, which featured a fully mechanical distributor and bin that wholly eliminated the troublesome electrical system. Proprietors were thoroughly unimpressed, and AMF engineers scrambled to redesign the distributor and bin. Most notoriously, the micro-switches in the pin distributor were easily fouled by dirt and debris, and if just one of them failed, the distribution sequence was compromised and pins piled up on the bin assembly. It was brilliant in theory, but the debut version was highly prone to failure in the field. The new machine offered many improvements over the 82-30, including continuous pin distribution (thanks to storage bins above the table) and a circuit through which the table could detect out-of-range pins and automatically advance to second ball. The 82-70 was AMF’s second generation machine, unveiled in 1962 and initially installed throughout 1963. Why an 82-30 house would have a book like this is anyone’s guess, but in any event, Glenn thought it was more relevant to my collection than to his. Glenn had done a parts run to Snyder, Texas, and as usual, he brought home all the manuals he could find. ![]() I received a nice surprise in the mail recently from Ken-Cliff Lanes: an original (and complete) parts and service manual for the 82-70A, one of the rarest pinsetting machines in the world today. Its just a basic overview for informational purposes, follow all safety procedures and receive proper training before operating.Ģnd ball cycle of the AMF 82-70 pinspotter, took this video many years ago after I set up the sweep and table.
