Title: Picked up this Bally today
Post by: MaineT on November 23, 2013, 06:24:10 pm
So, after being quite motivated after seeing a members basement arcade and the whole Chicago expirence, I check good old craigslist at home and what's there.... A ball bowler!!! It's turns on but need some work after sitting unused for a while. The picture is just set together at home.

Warning: these things are HEAVY!!!! Holy crap!

Awesome Tim...I bought one a little over a year ago and then found out I couldn't get the head section in my basement. They are a beast!

Sweet bowler ..very cool and some what rare, most bowlers I see are either Chicago or United. I got the poor man model, a shuffle bowler  :biggrin:

wow, very nice. BC did one of these a year or so ago it came out great. Can't beat the look of the old hardwood finish and lights.  I think the one BC had was still working and in use in an area bar.
