Ltransam,

I am also considering redoing my 1957 ABC bowler.  It's works fine on a dime but the outside needs about 50 hours of hard labor.  I just need a little more courage.

I really like those bowlers.  I have a shufflebowler, but really want a ball machine.  Just wish I had the room.  When restored, they are awesome.

I may be able to help a little with the electronics.  This is the second (bowler)  I have tackled.  The first was my 1957  United Midget Alley  which may be the coolest game I have ever played.

pm me if you need to.

My 1957 bowler was still being used at a local American Legion post vending games for a dime.   How about that???

Some of mine.. the gumball machines I'm gonna sand blast and spray bomb with hammertone.
the coolers.. I just finished redoing the letters after loosing ALL my images a couple months back..
I cut the Orange Squeeze letters out to see how they fit before I have the masking made....
as you can see it needs some body work and a hole welded... I'll have these ends blasted also...
 I had a new lid, cap catcher and base made for it.
Going with the original color scheme yellow body, cap catcher, red letters and black lid and base.

I've got enough projects to keep me busy for atleast 5 years....and I just picked up another one. I just joined the ball-bowler club, so I'm definetely going to need some help from the guys here who've already worked on them.

Tom did you get the Chicago Coin Corvette?  I know you were looking for that one.  If it's a United game from the early sixties, I could help you.  I tore down seven or eight of those already.  On all those EM's, first take it all apart, clean, lube, then figure out the problems.

What is on deck?...
I am hoping someone can suggest my next one.
I am about halfway done restoring my first machine (Vendo 81D) and have learned alot (i.e. back-up the disassembly pics!!) and now I am hooked (my wife does not seem too happy about that).  I like the sliders.  Would that be a nice 2nd project?
