Found this footage on another site and went to bed dreaming of this machine last night...

Wow... If only I could win the lottery.. I'd buy one and have it flown home in my own private Jet...

They are worth a few grand.  Williams made a mannequin bowler and so did Evans.  The Evans one is worth 2-3 times more than the Williams.  A few years ago, I was at the Pinball Expo in Rosemont Ill and there was a replica of this machine with digital scoring.  Someone, I forgot who, made these Ten Strikes again.  I believe it was about 3 grand for it.

There was one of these originals at the last two Chicagoland shows.  Home arcade's, Paul, had one there.  I asked him a few months ago if he ever sold it and he did.

They are fun to play.  When the pins reset a magnet is energized, under the pins, and they all fall into place.  The pins are on ropes, which is even cooler.  More realistic play that way.
