I’m assuming you moved the chassis to see if problem followed. If not this would be a good time as other things outside the chassis can cause your problem.
If you’re sure its in the chassis, then King has given you the most common solution. In addition inspect your pins on the C1, particularly the 3rd row from the top.
If I had to guess.....I'll agree with King ((that almost hurts :p ))...Contacts probleby need replaced. I always replace both uppers & lowers. Never just one.
Contatcts for the sweep are the most common culprit for us. Change them out and check all C1 pins as mentioned when you do it. Odds are it's one of the 2 causing the problem.
All I want in life is to turn wrenches and climb around pinsetters/pinspotters again :/
i second or third the lower contacts, or loose burnt C!, or Capacitors. i cant help but giggle that boss is from "shelbyville". have to be a simpsons nut to appreciate that
people are on the right track, if the motor starts then the cent switches work, but if it dosent break, make sure rhe cent mech isnt popping back up late, if it is then it will close the contacts after the regenerative braking field has already died, inspect the contacts and wiring first tho
Want your old pins collecting anywhere in the UK? email me on jezsmith@aol.com
Thank-you all for your help! My mechanic came in Sunday. We had two Chassis doing exactly the same thing...strange but, true! Yes, on different lanes.
Started with contactor lower set as per King's suggestion...fixed 1 of the 2...then, re-inspected pins on the C-1 plug as per triac's suggestion...fixed!
Thank-you all, for your help...Thanks too, to BOWL-TECH for being here!

I work on some nice old Brunswick A-2 pin setters. Most issues I've come across haven't been to problematic to figure out. But being I can't seem to get it to recreate the issue...
I’m a rookie mechanic and have been working on pinsetters for 2 years. One of my lanes has a problem with a sweep possibly coasting. I don’t know what could be causing it...
I was recently disheartened to learn that a bowling center that I once serviced was actively looking to replace their A2's. I understand that most military bases and educational...
