QubicaaMF PiNSPOTTERS wiTh XL TEchNOLOgy - a cOMbiNaTiON ThaT caN iNcREaSE REvENuE whiLE LOwERiNg OPERaTiNg cOSTS. Intelligent designs engineered to reduce annual maintenance costs, improve energy efficiency, and replace moving parts wherever possible. Superior quality, from the use of premium parts to the latest manufacturing and assembly techniques. Made in the USA. QubicaAMF Pinspotters are simply the best choice!In the end, your choice of pinspotter comes down to two qualities: reliability and fast operation. QubicaAMF pinspotters deliver big on both. Together, these attributes mean happier customers and happier employees. And those are the hallmarks of a profitable, growing bowling center business.

WALT POWERS PINSPOTTERPRODUCTMANAGER,QUBICAAMF “In over 40 years of building pinspotters, I havenever experienced a more intelligent design than the 90XL . It is by far the fastest pinspotter on themarket,thankstotheQubicaAMFSmartCycle.Andit isbyfarthemostreliable-themechanicalframes per stop are an unbelievable 5 times greater than pinspottersmade just 10 years ago! Although the 90XL has 20% less parts than theleading competitor, it just doesn’t have to work hard to perform its tasks. This means that it is more durable, last longer and holds its resale value. The 90XL is constantly monitoring itself. With 90XL technology, a marvel of intelligent engineering, your mechanic is alerted before a major breakdown even occurs - and moreimportant before any interruption to the bowler. And maintenance has never been easier. The 90XL is easy to access, and the settings and features are all controlled by software. QubicaAMF is constantly improving the operation of the pinspotter; any engineering improvements

ever made to QubicaAMF pinspotters are availabletoallofourcustomers.Evenabasic82-70Pinspotterpurchasedback in 1962 can be upgradedtoincorporatetoday’scutting-

ROD HARMON, FACILITY MANAGER ThunderBowl#1,IN “AsaMechaniconAMFbowlingequipment for26years, Ihaveworkedon82/30’s,82/70’s, and82/90’s.During thefirst6monthsof serviceofour 90XLi, we have averaged 10mechanical calls a week.Wow! I canrememberwhen10callsinanightwasphenomenalforothermachines.The new XL technology has changed the way mechanics interact with thesemachines.Withnewfunctionalityandfeatures,fewermovingpartsand more computerized technology, our work is so much simpler andeasier. And, of course, they operate much more efficiently. For instance, the wiring system is as simple as plugging in an outlet. And the Table and Sweep switches have been eliminated; everything is now controlled by an infrared home switch, a new brake system, and by the chassis.The support team of QubicaAMF has come up with a spec sheet for adjustments that really makes these machines HUM. All adjustmentsareeasytogetto,andverysimpletodo.Justdotheminorder,andthemachines are set for uninterrupted service. Along with the many new excellent features on the 90XL , the safety of the machine for mechanics has increased in many ways, too. There are now two emergency stop buttons, and a ball detector safety; if someone were to crawl in the machine from the front, it shuts down. And now the mechanic can run the machine from the front with the handheld unit, and have all the options from the chassis right at their finger tips!In terms of dependability, safety, and support, not choosing the QubicaAMF 90XL would be a big mistake. Thank you QubicaAMF!”

CHARLES SULLIVAN, OWNER StrikeCityLanes,AL “I wanted to take a minute to write you in regards to our recent installation of your QubicaAMF 90XL pinspotters. First and foremost, I have nothing but praiseforyourmachinesaswellasyourentirestaff! …your pinspotters have been terrific. I did a lot of research before choosing the 90XL over other machines. I talked to people all over the country, mechanics and owners alike. People that had experience with your machines and your competitors machines preferred QubicaAMF machines time and time again. I must say, so do I. Our newmachines run great day in and out. Mymechanic has had to spend little time with them. Our old machines never ran right. Not from dayone. Lanes were always down and customersdwindled because it was so frustrating to bowl. Since installing the XL ’s we have had an increase bowlers at the center. I couldn’t be happier.”

Now, there’s a simple solution for getting better performance and pin di-stribution from your Pinspotters. Durabin is an innovative and robust new bin system from QubicaaMF that renders the older metal bin design obsolete. install Durabin in your Pinspotters and experience:

gRiPPER POSiTivE baLL LiFT uPgRaDE KiT are you tired of fighting ball slippage issues with your old positive ball lift? This is a problem that many bowling centers face every day. Too much oil on the lanes makes balls more prone to slipping and getting stuck in the PbL. There is a simple solution to this problem and it is the innovative gripper Positive ball Lift. hundreds of hours of testing the gripper under extreme oil conditions have shown it to be 100% reliable. install the gripper on your pinspotters and experience:

• EliminationofballslippageissuesyouhavewithyourcurrentPBL,regardlessoftheamountofoilon your lanes

• LowMaintenance•EasyInstallation• Happycustomersnolongerwaitingendlesslyfor

their balls to come back

TheGripperBallReturnKitincludestheGripperballlift belt, tension bracket, upper and lower rail covers and thimbles.

BETTER PIN DISTRIBUTION Durabin eliminates the side-to-side shuttlemovement inherent in the older metal bin and shuttle design. At the heart of this feature are robust shuttle guides designed to ensure a strictly linear shuttle movement. This feature, in combination with Durabin’s individual pinpocketswithoptimizedpocketgeometry,resultsinmoreaccuratepinplacementand20%fewerpin jams on average when compared to the older steel bin design. Fewer pin jams means fewer Pinspotter calls and happier customers.

EASY OF INSTALLATION TheDurabinFieldUpgradeKitissimpleandquickto install. It comes complete with an installation guide and all necessary hardware.

REDUCE PIN WEAR Durabindoesnotcontainmetalpartsorfastenersnear the pockets where the pins are stored. Unlike the older metal bin designs, there is nothing on Durabinthatcandamageyourpins.

LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS Once installed, Durabin requires very minimalmaintenance. All that is required is routine cleaning-andthesmoothsurfaceandcontoursmake it easy to clean. All of the high maintenance bumpers, pin guides, and shock mounts are eliminated with Durabin, so you have fewerspare parts to stock. Less money in inventorymeans more money in your pocket.

DURABILITY Durabinissupportedbyaruggedsteelframeandattached with elastomeric grommets to reduce vibration for quieter operation.
