    Well, kinda funny. Not really.
    It’s kind of like a fleet. All the same. Think of having 20 corollas side by side. Do 20 tune ups. 20 oil changes.
    Now think of those 20 cars with added accessories. One may have a std trans. One a supercharger. One a high output alt with bigger pulleys. Same but different. Each one has its own personality.
    It’s A LOT OF MAINTENANCE.
    You can’t imagine what shows up under the turntable.
    You can tell a clean ally on how good your balls look (HA HA HA) after a few games.
    If they have globs of grease on them or look like they got old in 30 min, bad maintenance.
    2 of us spent 3 hours disassembling 2 machines. Cleaning all the rollers, tables, chains, guides with cleaners and
    Scotch brite pads. Vacuuming the deck and sweeping the lanes. That’s only 2. Then a breakdown will put that to the back burner. We had a pin turret strip while I was out back. Very interesting. Dangerous with open pulleys and belts. Just gotta be smart. Then at some point you wash and clean the pins. Wash and clean the balls. Wash the chairs and computer tables.
    Always busy.
    Very satisfying at the same time.

    We have one of those at work, I rarely use it. Most of what I cut with a cut off wheel on a grinder is too small to fit in the bandsaw or is a custom cut :thumbsup:

    The round front building looks like it would have been pretty neat to explore.

    The water tower is gone too. :confused: How will people flush??

    I asked them and they said no. Some nonsense about not being able to put the asbestos back in. :mad:
    It wasn't nearly as interesting as you'd think. I'll dig some plans up.
    River! Just not upstream from the bathers.

    I don't like your plan here, what if the bathers don't get the memo about the people flushing downstream and slip one out upstream o_O
