Love my Bally ABC Ball Bowler too. One of the more popular games in my arcade at work.
I've been dragging my feet getting another one that was offered to me. It's a United, little bit older and uses the larger 4.5" balls. It's in nice shape, works pretty well.... but seller's basement access is very limited and I'm just not motivated to move it out.

Can you imagine the abuse these things took back in the day by those "hellions".  |

Mine was so banged up, I went through a full container of wood filler with all of the nicks and gouges. I was still amazed how well they were built. They are like tanks. The mechanics are built t last an I know if 3 of them in the Buffalo NY area still on a route collecting quarters. I converted mine back to a dime. Mine was at a bar working only 2 years ago. They are out there. You just have to look for them.
Good hunting.
Brian

That machine looks outstanding!! Very Nice.. I just picked up a United Dixie Ball Bowler... The machine works good but there is a little problem when it comes to the tenth frame.. Does anyone on here know much about these? Anyways Outstanding machine!

I completely shopped mine out when I first got it. I cleaned and oiled where needed. I would reccommend the same before trouble shooting.

That must be the bowler by the popcorn machine that I just commented on. I have done many United's. I actually owned the shuffle version of Dixie, called Line Up.
First and foremost, take all the parts off and clean them. I basically prefer acetone and Q tips for the gummed up metal parts. Then go through the contacts. If you want to clean the smokey reels use warm soapy water, briefly soak, lightly clean, rinse well, for the reels. Lightly wash with a lint free cloth, unless those had paper reels, then avoid any soaking. United changed over in 1960 or 61 to plastic reels. Lightly lube, I like Teflon, put together, then ask questions.
Schematics are available at The Pinball Resource.
Need any help, I can dig up my Line up Schematic.
