I am having way too much fun.  Best vintage game I own.  1957 United Midget Alley is very cool.  It uses a turret to actually shot a 2 1/2 ball to knock down the pins.  The restoration was actually fun.  A lot of wood work.  The speckled paint came out great on by 10th attempt.  What a nightmare but I was happy with it when I was finished.  Here are a couple of pics.  The machine was in pieces when I bought it.  I am picking up a 12 ft ball bowler on Thursday and will show pics of that as well.

Looks Great Brian! I think you did well on the speckled paint!
A bowler game is on my want list! How big is the midget bowler - looks to be about the size of a pinball machine.
