Quoted from RyanClaytor:
P.S. The cabinet looks like it's different than the promo photos for this game:

...and the images uploaded to IPDB:

Just curious if anyone knows what game this cabinet:

...was originally paired with.
P.P.S. Looks like the backbox is original:

Hi, I am owner, guessing that it is either model 1 or 2 as it appears there were two models of this game, and they may have had different cabs. Jay at ipbd is trying to sort it out. Bought this with Chicago Coin Swing in a package deal and can only keep one. Seller commented someone had talked about a coffee table conversion for it and didn’t want it to have that fate. So really hoping to find a home with someone who will restore it. I just don’t have room.

Quoted from ZNET:
I located the "before" and "after" photos of these two restoration projects, posted here.
As the photos reveal, the Spot Bowler was in need of a lot of love. Jack sent photos in advance so I knew the extent of my undertaking. I found Jack to be delightful. I much enjoy sharing pinball stories with longtime enthusiasts, like Jack. I know that Jack had hoped to sell his remaining games in large lots. Alas, piecemeal sales are more likely and he has probably acknowledged that reality by now.
The only game which consumed more of my restoration time than this Spot Bowler was my EM Whoa Nellie (Continental Cafe conversion). Who can resist a Spot Bowler, even a half-dead one? Apparently, not me.

Beautiful Spot Bowler, I found mine in horrible condition too. But don’t have the pf touch up skills you have, so just removed the varnish, yes varnish from pf and keeping it well waxed. Also had to remove the blue paint from cab, back box and legs.

Ryan,

Good eye. Just found the label in pic below inside side cabinet door. So I have a Beauty of a Triumph. What the heck do I do with this machine? I really can't keep it and would be a shame to part it out or have it junked. Any ideas?
