Title: 1955 United Capitol Shuffle Alley pins
Post by: Wojcik on June 04, 2012, 07:01:37 pm
Does anyone know where I can find bowling pins for this machine? The ones they have on E-bay are not the right ones. Thanks!

I'll have to go through my  vendor  lists. No one is reproducing the numbered pins,. There is a shop out of Colorado that sells them from time to time, but never complete set.

I may have some spares ( no pun intended) I'll look in a day or 2.

W,
I need a 1and 3 pin for mine. I thought these would work.

I take lousy pictures.
the pins are approx 10 1/2" high, the back mounting holes are 5/8". bottom of the pins are 3/4"

A little dirty, but no cracks, or chips

Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

I also need some pins for my 1958 Bally ABC ball bowler if anyone has a source.

Also try, Marco Specialties or Pinball resource for the regular 10.5" pins.

I would like some spare pins for my Bally All Star.  They are the smaller pins.  I don't know their size off hand, but they are not the standard 10.5" pin.

I finished the bowling pins. I had the pins casted out of magnesium and then I powdercoated them. Here's a few pictures of them.

maybe they (the original plastic pins) would have held up better if they had made them as nice as your magnesium repos! sweet!
