Pinspotter Tech Tip
Need to catch up on some winter maintenance for your pinspotters still?
We have always found it best to concentrate on one section of the machine each year “Pit, Table, Ball lifts, etc.” and go across the house rebuilding that section. Then go thru the entire machine inspecting, cleaning and lubricating. After a good cleaning and lube program you save $$$ and have a trouble-free operation.
During your inspection of the machine, if you find something that needs to be replaced, we have put together some kits to help you with quick repairs.
Here are some easy-to-use kits that every center should have on hand featuring our (Genuine AMF OEM Parts):
Spring Roller Pin Repair Kit, #610704103
Use this kit if the original stud breaks off, special replacement stud with nut, comes with full instructions.
Ball Lift Pressure Kit,
#612070013
Ball Lift Pressure Kit can more than double the effective lifting force; allows for heavy lane oil conditions; overcomes poor lubrication; easily adjustable pressure; thicker plate eliminates problems with springs pulling out holes; belts and rails do not have to be cleaned to remove oil nearly as often.
Clutch Kit 8270, #612700001
When stop blade wear or clutch plate-pinion slop is causing pin pileups, eliminate the problem with this kit. Clutch plate includes the pin separator ring, essential to preventing pins from leaving the distributor between bin positions.

Quick solution for broken spring hooks on the table torque tube. A simple, strong and neat fix. Installs quickly and easily - no welding or drilling. An economical way to extend the life of equipment.
