Tillamook Lanes: A 27-Year Steltronic Legacy Gets a Modern Upgrade on the Oregon Coast
Tillamook Lanes Steltronic Focus-NEX upgrade marks a major milestone in the journey of one of our longest-standing customers.
In 1998, our very own Jim Osdale, then working with American Bowling, led the original installation of Steltronic WINS software with Elex hardware and Sciba cameras—cutting-edge technology at the time. Over the years, the team at Tillamook Lanes took meticulous care of their system, upgrading to HDMI monitors while maintaining peak performance, a true testament to their dedication and professionalism.
Fast forward to 2025, and that same center is embracing the next generation of scoring with:
Focus-NEX Software – Our newest and most advanced scoring system with rich 3D graphics, dynamic bowler interaction, and unmatched reliability.
Steltronic Vision Lane Computers – Fast, modern, and loaded with solid state drives, up to 100X faster than traditional spinning hard drives.
New Steltronic PinCam Cameras – Purpose-built for all lighting conditions, including glow bowling and disco lights, delivering precision pin detection and high durability.
Dual-Lane High-Definition Touch Screens – Replacing the original joystick consoles, these new touch screens allow bowlers to control two lanes from one intuitive interface, with added options like social media integration, mobile app connectivity, and scoring customization.
Nestled along the beautiful Oregon Coast, in the heart of a town known around the world for its dairy heritage, Tillamook Lanes has been a proud Steltronic customer since July of 1998. Now, 27 years later, they’re taking a giant leap forward with a full system upgrade to our latest Focus-NEX automatic scoring platform—and we couldn’t be more honored to continue this partnership into the future.
Tillamook, Oregon is more than just a pin on the map. It’s a destination, famous for the Tillamook Creamery, where thousands of visitors come each year to tour the factory and enjoy world-class cheese, ice cream, and locally crafted dairy products. If you ever find yourself driving along the scenic Pacific Coast Highway, a stop in Tillamook is an absolute must—not just for the food, but also for the spectacular coastal views and small-town charm.
And right in the center of it all is Tillamook Lanes, a staple of the community where friends, families, and competitive bowlers have gathered for decades.
And the best part? The entire upgrade is being handled in-house by the dedicated Tillamook Lanes team—the same crew that has been maintaining their original Steltronic system for nearly three decades. That level of trust and confidence speaks volumes about both their capabilities and the long-standing reliability of Steltronic systems.
