Never was that interested in bowlers but this thing is cool. Should have it restored by the summer.

Cool Brian! Is that where the idea from that old computer game 'Elf Bowling' came from?
Anyone remember Elf Bowling? I think I got a floppy disc around here somewhere with it on it.
I would like to have a bowler game, but just don't know where I'd put it until I get the other 30+ projects done

Really nice, how long is the alley? What is the ball made of wood or hard rubber?

Very cool bowler, congrats!!
Yep, had the PC game. 5 1/4" floppy. 386 recommended. Those were the days. Was a happy camper when I got my acoustic modem working.
Old man shutting up now :-)

Very cool game. It is similar to a Bally All Star. The Midget is harder to control the ball. Hard to get strikes or pick up spares. Great find.
Where did you find it and what did it go for?

I got it in the Buffalo arear for Approx $350.00 I got almost everything to work properly on a dime. I need to build 2 new legs and a plexiglass Cowl to protect the bowling pins. Any help out there? I have never restored a Bowler/

That's a good price. I could've picked one up complete for $500.00, but I didn't get it. I've been looking for one for awhile. Parts are hard to come by. Odd sizes. You'd have to make the legs and hood.

I believe there was aguy inside at the Chicago Show that had 2 of them restored for sale. If you can find out who he was, may be a good resource for parts or information.

Thanks Tom
I consulted with the Guy from Chicago before I made the purchase. I hope to have him assist me with the resotoration. He does some amazing work with ball bowlers.
