The latest episode of State of Repair shows the hard, dangerous, and sometimes beautiful work of repairing bowling machinery.
Ask Joe Martinez to show you his fingers, and you’ll see how dangerous it is fixing bowling alleys. On his right hand, Martinez’s middle finger is sheared clean off at the outermost joint, the result of an accident while fixing the complex machinery that kicks into gear after each throw of the bowling ball. But that won’t stop him. “My difference that I have with other mechanics is my passion for it,” he said. “I love what I do with these machines.”
