I am almost inspired to  start  shopping my bowler

Kilroy, my son just had a  hockey party for his team in our gameroom and I have 12 arcade games the boys could have played  but the 1958  ball bowler had more interest then even my Super Chex bubble hockey game.  These were boys from 15 year old to 18.

Glad to see young people enjoying the games from the 1950s.

Great Job Brian!!  It Rocks!
Ball Bowler are the best, I think it's the realism of them and the fond memories of playing them as a kid at the Moose Club with my dad.
How hard was it finding parts, did you have  schematic, did you have to fabricate anything? 

A bowler is the one big ticket item on my wish list.... maybe one day!

OH MY goodness!!!!  WOW that looks awsome!!!   

Gotta have one!!!

Thanks for the kind words Ray,

I have a friend that still services 3 of these in a Moose lodge and 2 American Legion Posts.  I am lucky in that respect.  Mine has been very reliable.  If you have the space, they are amazing.  Make sure you take accurate measurements to make sure it will fit in your basement or gameroom.  Mine is only 11 feet long and it cleared my basement steps by 2 inches.  That was lucky.  It comes apart in 4 major pieces.

Im here to help if anyone takes on the oproject.  It was actually not as bad as it could have been.
