Re: sweepmania
Ahhh, I'll never forget the sound those multi-piece sweep bar assemblies used to make as they swept off a full rack of pins- "tink-tink-tink-tink" especially funny sounding with a fast gearbox- I always thought when they were not all bent up and had the AMF logo on the front of them they looked pretty cool. Unfortunately or fortunately I guess, my 50 lanes have the "plastic" single piece sweep bars. Do you have glo bowling and I was wondering if any of those sweep bars had glowing paint that shows up under blacklight? Bet that would look pretty cool. Got anymore cool pics?

Re: sweepmania
We still use the 3-piece assembly with the steel tubes... with some mods. We got rid of the heavy fiberglass centerbar and replaced it with square aluminum U-channel (I riveted a strip of 1/8" 'Versacel' PVC sheeting to the back of it to cut down on the "clank-clank" noise and to protect the pins)... and I REFUSE to buy the lower tubes... $20-30 for a stupid piece of white pipe! I've been using 'hardwall' galvanized conduit painted with white alkyd enamel appliance paint. Looks just as good, and costs about $20 for enough material to make about 6 of them.<span style="font-style: italic">Educatio est omnium efficacissima forma rebellionis</span>

Re: sweepmania
G-Man,
Try plain old white PVC pipe for the tubes. Before we changed to the new style sweeps I’d been using PVC for years. It’s even less expensive than what you’re using. Just remove the rubber grommets & slide it into place. It fits perfectly!
