The Bowling Mechanic Keeping America’s Favorite Pastime Alive

From birthday parties to televised professional leagues, bowling is the number one participatory sport in America.

To keep this favorite pastime alive, a rare breed of highly skilled technicians thrive on the fridge of our modern technological society to make sure that these old-school pinsetter machines work as well today as they did on their first day on the bowling lanes back in the 40s and 50s.

In this episode of State of Repair, Motherboard ventures out into our own Brooklyn backyard to spend time with one of the last traditional pinsetter mechanics, Joe Martinez, who’s spent the last 25 years keeping the symphonic cacophony of the bowling alley machines whirring along.
