This machine is kinda slow and quite noisy and prone to deck jams

The 8230 sweeps are difficult to fix when someone throws a ball at it and busts it. The 8270 and A/A2 rake/sweep don't drag on the lane... if it does then the mechanic has a problem to fix...

The GSX is the best pinsetter worldwide! I word with these machines every day.

Fantastic reading, I had no idea.. I was always just grateful that they worked and had a good time bowling. Fascinating stuff.

No thanks! they look like death traps just like the A's! I'll take a 90XLi anyday. Copy Cat? why does it look like they took AMFs table design?

but other than that they rock 5 star pinsetters

this is awsome but it has one problem it is a time waster and it is 2 slow

all are good machines....its all in the mechanic/staff 82/30 /70 are easier to get running good...but frames per stop cap is a little lower This video is a little bias though. you can get an a-2 running 1500-2000 FPS and 82/30 /70 fairly close as well a & a-2 take a little more effort into running good...but has a higher cap in frames per stop GSX HAS to be clean to run good. Keep an eye on a few key items and it will run 3000 FPS easily

The brunswick A-2 and AMF 8270 is faster than Brunswick GSX

Working on the gearbox of an A machine is not alot fun. If you look at an 8230, it's just a table , distributor, and pin wheel. The only reason AMF went to a newer design was extend pin life and increase off-spot range. Either way, I'd still choose an 8230 of 8270.
