Can not really see it. What is the name of the game? I have a Chicago coin op shuffle, mine needs work too. Not sure of the value, they are cool though.

 This looks a bit similar to the shuffle alley I just got done with... they are cool machines...once you get the glitches out of them... which can be very time consuming... but with a bottle of advil I made it through it ha ha  :tounge:

My advise is to wait and get a ball bowler and spend a little more money.  They are way more fun and worth time and effort restoring.  Not a big fan of the old shufflers.

Shufflers usually go for $300-900 depending on condition.
Bowl ballers are considerably more, but like BC said, a lot more fun

Looks like a tic tac toe style game.

 I agree, the ball bowlers are the way to go...much more fun... the shuffle bowler is cool dont get me wrong.. but if I were to buy one I would go after a ball bowler.....Brian....

Now I have both and it never fails that the ball bowler is the favorite of the kids, 5-20, and the shuffles are always favored by the older adults, 55-70.  Just an observation I have made from different groups of people hanging out in my house over the last twenty years.

Me, I like the ball bowler, but I prefer the shuffle.  I grew up on shuffles and when I got the ball bowler I was like wow, this is cool.  I never saw one before I picked mine up.  But as the years went by, I find myself playing the shuffle more and more.  I must be getting old. :Oo:
