    Whatever could this be?

    A ball bowler? I want one.

    My damn shipment has only just now made it south to L.A. .... argh....

    #4653 3 years ago

    Just got home from my adventure. My boy and me and 2 buddies drove 4hrs north to pick up one of my Grail games. We rolled out at 0430 this morning and got back home at 400 this afternoon. It's a 1963 United Sabre 13ft ball bowler. Got back home in time to get it offloaded and sit down for Easter dinner on top of it.

    Damn big fella you nailed it. Not sure how you guessed that but you are spot on sir.

    That goes great next to a Tornado Foosball table

    Gotta have the toys

    #4657 3 years ago

    I had a million dollar foosball table for years but got tired of playing it alone (which is absolutely no fun)

    #4658 3 years ago

    Nice find! Bet it smells old

    #4659 3 years ago

    Looks in great shape. Enjoy!

    Quoted from DBLM:

    How is MM and family doing?

    #4661 3 years ago

    Oh man! Congrats on the pick up!

    #4662 3 years ago
    Quoted from Green-Machine:

    Smells like cigarettes! I wiped it down with febreeze and then coated it with bounce dryer sheets. Hopefully that will help alleviate that smell.

    Cause I've been playing these too damn long. A ball bowler is my grail too, but I'll likely never get one. I'll enjoy looking!

    Ha !!!My first TZ I bought was a re-Import from Germany it smelled of cigarettes and brothels... sure paints a picture

    But was it a 'real' foosball table, or one of those plastic hard things with rock balls?

    Do you know “the Million Dollar machine”
    It is the Mack Daddy original
    Best ever built

    The "Million Dollar Game" foosball tables were Tournament Soccer tables built in the 70's. They were the premier US table at the time, and supported by nationwide tournaments with prizes in the tens of thousands of dollars, with cars like Corvettes being given away to the winners as well. Source: Former "pro" foosball player (me), but not from that era.

    Looks like the one I'm talking about. The balls had some give to them. You could grab them with the player and do some wicked control magic.
    Back around '74 and '75 I wasted much time on those things.
