I haven't found anyone making decals or  the replacement pins that are numbered BC.
give me a day or two, I can get measurements of the size and pictures of mine if you want to  make your own.

Not to insult the "puck bowler" lovers but having played and worked on both machines, I really like the ball bowlers.  No offence to my firends who love their "puck style" bowlers.



Brian
No offense taken. This is my first puck bowler and at $200.00 I couldn't pass it up. I am looking for a ball bowler when I'm finished.

BC,
Sorry for the quality of pics, I was working off my phone.
I've been trying to find a 1 and 3 pin, no one I know of is making  reproductions, the numbers are imprinted and not a decal. though Big Ball Bowler in St. Louis has abnnounced "coming soon" on their web site, for a year or two

The numbers are approx 1 7/8" high, and  at the widest point 1 5/8"  wide, amd 2 7/8" from the top of the number  to the red bar on the neck.

I would think you can cut them out of  vinyl.


Hope it helps

Looks good.  I did the same bowler this spring for someone.  I had five shuffles, three ball bowlers, and a turret game and they are all nice to play.  I kept my United Falcon ball bowler, United Embassy shuffle, and my Bally All Star Deluxe turret game.  I tried the United Midget Alley before, but was disapointed in that game.  I like the Bally All Stars better.

I checked Docs Old Ball Bowler sight and did not see any pins.  He has a ton of parts.  I'm sure he would have some used ones.

Larry,

How can you not love a game called "Midget Alley"?  I still play it 3 or 4 times a week and I have owned it for 2 years.  I mean really, can't you see yourself as one of the "Midgets" bowling in the meadow or simply just reading a newspaper?

I was so excited when I had mine years ago, but I just didn't like playing it???  I love the concept of a rotating ball and a braking system, but I just didn't like it.

I'd probably be chillin' on the mushroom.  Maybe after a mushroom, the little people would really be there. Oo
