Title: Williams Ten Strike.
Post by: davethebirdman on September 21, 2015, 01:33:16 pm
Hello chaps.

Just sharing a couple of (poor) pictures of my latest old lady. This was my retirement present to myself. have wanted one for years. I have a feeling its going to be a little temperamental on me. Already had the
repairman out once so will have to treat myself to a good book.

At this very moment it is working just perfect. Me and the kids have still to get a strike but I have had a handful of spares. i have the cover but prefer the game with it off.

Dave

Thanks Chaps. I should clarify that whilst I have retired from law enforcement I'm still going to work but this time around it is for a charity working with victims of crime. The life of leisure is still some years away. The Ten Strike was top of the wants list and with an encouraging nudge from Neil, the other UK resident I final pulled the trigger Dave

Ten Strike or Ten Pins is on my list too.  I had a chance to get one once but instead I bought a Little Pro golf game, which I sold years ago.  If I bought the Ten Strike, it would still be in my basement.  An electronic version came out about ten years ago and it was not a reliable game, and of course not a Williams.  Great find.

Hi Larry

I've always liked the mannequin games. Have admired the baseball ones from Genco but unlikely to find one this end of the world.

Me and the kids have been playing the Ten Strike and are still yet to get a strike. A few spares but the elusive strike eludes us.

Meant to post earlier but saw Lloyd at coinopwarehouse had a ten pin for sale this past week.

Dave,
Maybe the ten strikes have already been awarded? Full system reset?
