This is too funny.  I thought I would check out Craigslist to see what types of bowlers were available, and look what I found. jawdrop

This is the first shuffle alley that I have ever worked on.  This is the exact one.  I recognize it.  It was completely torn apart and went through around nine years ago.  I bet it still works.

I forgot what I sold it for, probably around $600.00?Huh?

I talked to the seller and she pretty much quoted everything that I wrote down when I sold the game.  She mentioned that it was totally taken apart, etc.  I told her that I was the one who originally worked on it.  She told me that the game was her sisters.

I remember when I sold this game because the guy who bought it was a real jerk.  The only reason he wanted it was because his wife was dying from cancer and she always wanted a shuffle alley.  He was so pissed when he came over.  He kept griping about the game and trying to put me down for some reason.  A real gem this guy was!!

The sister who has the game told me that her sister had a lot of fun with the game, before she died, and that the game still works great.  It's nice to know that something you worked on meant something to someone and made them happy.
