That's going to be a tough one to hide. Maybe tucked away in the corner...a really dark one!

Yes, I just sold a Chicago coins shuffle bowler on ebay myself, & I've four more to list, spare parts are around & may require some digging , but they are out there. if you search under jack-pot, you'll see some of the machines I have taht I'm auctioning off for my associates warehouse sale... heres apicture I used for the auction, you'll see one of the older bowlers peeking around to the right, pins, & score-reel tapes/decals are available, they use many of the same components as the older electromechanical pinball machines of the era, on the backboard, the shuffle bowlers are about 10 feet total length, about 3 fett wide & can be as tall as 7feet depending on the backboard. there are bowling games that use actual mini hard rubber bowling balls instead of shuffle pucks ( carefull with that word!) to score, these machines are 14 feet or more in length

I had a chance to buy one of these really cheap but the owner let it sit outside for the winter. I was bummed.

I was really close to pulling the trigger on a Shuffle Alley (puck bowler) last week. I would really love to have a Ball Bowler though. In the end, I might end up just settling for a Puck Bowler.
