Quoted from Mr68:I recently sold my 16 foot, 1963 United Fury, for $3500.00. After I brought it back to life it worked flawlessly for more than 5 years in my game room. It was the most popular machine I have ever owned. Paid $400 (non working), put in another $100 for parts and some elbow grease.
Some of my friends hate me now for selling.
Wow now that's a nice bowler. One of these days I'll find one and add it to my gameroom. Thanks everyone for your input now I know what I am looking for and somewhat have an idea on value.

Quoted from VegasMike:I paid $1,700 for my 1965 CC Preview bowler about 2 years ago. It was 100% working but a cosmetic mess.

This one looks a bit nicer than mine, so I would estimate $2,000-$2,400? Of course, other factors will also drive the price - location, motivation of seller, etc. Good luck.
I wouldn't sell mine for less than $4,500 - of course i am biased, as i spend 100+ hours cleaning it up...
Thanks for the information. Are these ball bowlers hard to move? Looks like the lanes come apart in a couple sections. Would this bowler fit in a pick up truck? Or I might have to get a trailer for it.
Wow man your ball bowler looks great. Now I am excited to restore this one I am getting soon.

Alright picked up this 16ft ball bowler over the weekend. This will be my next project, I believe this Sonic bowler was repainted at some point in it's life. After talking with St. Louis Ball bowlers he said the color don't seem right for a Sonic Chicago Coin opt machine.. Either way I'll be doing a lot of sanding and repainting it anyways..
