Williams, 1973I'm not sure if this qualifies to be in this thread, but its a 1955 Williams Bank-Pool. I've played bumper pool, but never one that had a hole in the middle of the table. If anyone has the rule set to this, I'd be interested in a copy. This model has lighted bumpers, it should turn out nice.

Williams Bank-Pool 006.jpgThis is a cool thread, because I am just starting to look for some vintage coinop for my arcade. You all may already know about this site, but if not you have to check out coinopwarehouse on Facebook. They are from Hagerstown Mr., and they find old vintage machines on a daily basis. They post them for sale,but they never last long. I stopped in their warehouse on the way to PAPA last year, and it is unfreakingbelievable.
Quoted from illawarra92:slightly off topic..does anybody collect old arcade signs to complement their games?
I don't, but I would if I could find some.
Quoted from Honch:Smokey, you should throw up some pics.

025.JPGA friend of mine has a similar game to the Chicago Coin Bull's Eye "Drop Ball" that's in your photos, but his is a shuffle alley version.

No frickin' way Dennisdodel! That is totally awesome!. ...lucky lucky luck dawg!
This belongs to my wife's boss. She had it since she was a kid and wanted it working again. She couldn't find anyone to work on it so I told her I would. I never worked on a bowler before but figured I'd give it a try. It was in bad shape but turned out nice. I got it working 100%. Here is before and after. Sorry the pics are bad. They are with a cell phone.

Quoted from TomT:Here's my 1956 United "Bowling Alley" all I had to do was get it up and running it's in really nice condition always a huge hit at parties along with the Skeeball machine.

Does you game still have the mech that traps the ball at the top of the ball return, to keep them from being stolen?
Quoted from Vic_Camp:Got this excellent condition Bowler from a old man that lived in the house next to us.

Vic -
I have the same game. Bought it from my high school gym teacher. Works great. Typical of what every bar had back in the day. Must be a Jersey thing...
Quoted from Hoopjohn:I know about the ball release mech. When I bought mine, the mech had been disabled and some of the parts were removed. I removed the remaining parts.
Crud. I want to re-install mine, but all I have there is a coil, nothing else. Have had 0 luck finding pics of what is supposed to be there.
Quoted from jrpinball:You mean this?
Where did you get that? I'd like to think my contribution to this thread would be that cool, but that might be a stretch...

Not mine. Belongs to a friend in NJ. He had a party recently, and I took some photos of his stuff.

That is the bowler I'd like to have. Not as big as the others.

Ill have to check I havent been in the game in quite a while.
I would love to get one of these down the road for my collection. I always thought the ASCO Hot Nut Machines where some of the nicest looking ones made. These are usually pretty pricy ranging from 800.00 to $1500.00. Great to have some hot cashew nuts for snacking and then wash them down with a cold beverage in between playing.

A friend of mine has something similar to this along with a 1950's hotdog roller and the food tastes awesome. They would make a great addition to any game room.

You should have him post a picture of it here.

Anyone have a Chicago Coin Top Hat Ball Bowler? If so can you PM as I am in need of a few pictures of the machine! (have posted in a few threads so apologies for duplicating)!
Quoted from way2wyrd:Ok i just bought this H&W Machine company gumball machine. Its cool and in nice shape.
Anyone collect these?
--Jeff
Cool purchase Jeff.
I remember these Ford gumball machines being at a lot of restaurant check out counters back in the 60's and early 70's and they were always very shiny with their polished chrome. Even IHOPs had them. A lot of the machines had a card on top that stated your coin would be a donation to a charity or a Lions Club, Etc.
Ken
Quoted from KJIa:Picked this up a few years ago. Very fun old game to play.
I don't think I ever saw a Derby Roll, very cool concept as a shuffle board.
Ken
It's more of a bowler type game where you roll the ball to try and hit the different lit openings to advance your horses. Looks simple but the openings are just slightly larger than the ball and it tends to bounce to the outside where the smaller point values are.

Even better then I thought.
Thanks for explaining that.

Saved this one from the "recycle bin"! Chicago Coin Top Hat Ball Bowler. The good: it works with very few issues (one pin needs a coil) The bad: at one point the machine was converted over to quarters thus they riveted a plate to the top of the coin assembly and changed out all of the internal coin mechs. The cabinet was painted over so I have no idea as to the original paint scheme.
Anyone have parts (especially anything to do with the coin assembly and internal mechs) or original colored pictures of this game please pm me!
Another fun restoration project.
Quoted from meSz:Restored Stepper Units and Relays to my Chicago Coin Goalee machine, does this count?
Certainly, but it would be a lot more fun to see the whole machine.
