AMF Pinspotter Manuals

Alright, so AMF's website does not have all of their manuals available for download, however they do have the parts catalog for the 82-70.  There are manuals and other parts catalogs for their newer versions of the pinspotter, such as the 82-90, the 82-90XL, and several more just to make it confusing for the rest of us.  I'll do my best at organizing this mess.

AMF 82-70

AMF 82-90XL
     Parts Catalog -- http://www.amfproducts.com/techs/manuals/8290parts.pdf
     Manual -- Coming Soon!

Stay tuned, because I'm still reorganizing all of these manuals right now.  I'm trying to figure out a way to merge the individual sections into one big PDF file instead of these smaller ones.

The AMF 82-70 Pinspotter

Well, if you're reading this I'm assuming you're familiar with the AMF 82-70 pinspotter used in bowling alleys throughout the world, and you're also likely a mechanic who works on these amazing machines.  I myself actually used to work on the 82-70s when I was just 11 years old, though it wasn't something I could advertise for legal reasons at the time.  I have decided to create this small webpage to discuss anything and everything relating to these awesome pinspotters, including manuals, parts resources, and custom modifications.

This is not a website to compete with Bowl-Tech, don't worry!  I simply want this website to be a quick and easy resource.  With that being said, the next post will provide to download links for the AMF 82-70 manuals.  In fact, I'll try to organize them into one zip file, since the AMF site decided to make them into many small downloads (why in the world would they do this to us?)  Don't forget to bookmark this website and tell your fellow mechanics about it as well!

PS.  If you're an A2 mechanic, don't worry, I'll forgive you!  I know you want to find out why the 82-70s are such good pinspotters, haha.
