Bowling at Bertrand Lanes (AMF 82-70s)

Спорт

Great bowling alley located in Waukegan, IL. They have a lot of vintage AMF tech and interior equipment which is pretty neat! The lanes are oiled well, and the machines seem well maintained. It's not the safest area unfortunately, but good bowling none the less! Check it out! :)

    Holy cow this place looks awesome! I didn’t even know this place existed and based on the town doesn’t seem like it’s too far away. Definitely will have to visit sometime! I love those style of making units and the blue 82-30 style sweeps are sweet. Awesome video and nice bowling!

    great video. ive been bowling there for the last 30 yrs. all the new improvements were made in the last couple of years. The old owner finally decided to sell it to a guy that runs a family fun center here in town.

    I remember a bowling center about 10 miles from my house had these masking units. AMF Mod V with indicators. The center is long gone now. It's a liquor store.

    I’ve never gotten used to the sound of bowling on synthetic lanes. Problem is, the places that have wood lanes are all dives. One place I really don’t understand has a tiny-stage, small but very good restaurant, bar and a ten-lane bowling alley. Old AMF 82-30’s with original masking units, above-ground ball returns and wood lanes. Wood lanes that sound like wood lanes. They even have a neon AMF sign above the door. The only maintenance they do on the lanes is to dust mop them every day. In the hands of an owner with a good mechanic and some money to totally refurbish the lanes the place would be a gold mine. I’m sure it makes good money but it could be a gold mine. Sad to see it waste away. I did make a suggestion that at the very least they should replace the pins with new ones and they actually did.
