Once again, Craigslist was the place for this. I had been looking for one of these for a while. Being as cheap as I am, I ended up getting this at a fraction of what others were going for. The guy I got it from had sold his parents house and it was in the basement for nearly twenty years and he needed to get rid of it. His dad was an arcade repair guy and kept this one for himself. It needs work, as most things I get on Craigslist do, but I'm up for the challenge.
The plan is to get it cleaned up and then get it down in the game room for an actual electrical repair. I'll do all of the big physical, mechanical and cosmetic stuff out in the garage. I think it will be a great addition to the family entertainment area.
On a side note... I picked this up in a town close to where my mother grew up. She said that her aunt and uncle had a game room that included one of these. I find it interesting that I got it in the same town where they lived. Since these things weigh 300-400 lbs, I doubt the thing has moved around much. I guess it's possible that it could have been theirs. Now how cool would that be?!
Here's the original flyer for the game...
Here's another that was out on the internet all fixed up...
Another showing the front glass...
More to come...
Oh, did I mention I bowl overhand? ; )
