Title: Old shuffle board bowling game

If you know how to work on one of these, this could be a great deal.  Too big for any space I would have, but it sure looks cool

I am more of a "ball bowler" person.  The puck bowlers are not as valuable and take just as long to restore.

I have to agree with Brian, though shuffle bowlers are considerably less epxensive

Looks like a pretty good deal...I wish I had the room.

I have a shuffle machine.  I really want a ball bowler.  Room is an issue for me too. 

I fell in love with them a few years back at the Chicago show.

The only thing I wouldn't like about the Chicago show is all the new or different things that I would see and have to have....and then trying to get them home (West Coast).

I said this before but I'll say it again.... United shuffles and bowlers from 1962 are the best machines out there.  Buy one of those games, get it working; you will be a happy man.

To me, ball bowlers are cooler, but from my experiences, at multiple parties, the shuffle alleys tends to be the favorite.  I imagine memories have a play in it.

If anyone ever gets a United and needs some help, email me and I will be more than happy to help you.
