Dan,

I was able to make a bracket similar. But not exact. Clay at the Ann Arbor Pinball Museum allowed me to remove the bracket for quick measurements All I had was 1/8" stock to use a little thicker than the original at 3/32". And the press fit stud is now a slot allowing for adjustment. Also the lower flange is not there becasue my shop does not have a bending brake. The first picture is from Clay's bowler, the next two is what I made for your bowler.

[attachment=2577894,undefined caption="bowler 002.JPG"]I just bought this 1963 Chicago Coin GRAND SPARE LITE BOWLER. A friend bought it first but could not get it into his basement. So he delivered it. It does work and needs a coil on the player stepper. Yep, the front half of the lane is from a different bowler. Not sure what year/model the front lane is. It even has the guards, not pictured, to protect the pin deck and backglass from those who like to bowl overhand. I have a lot of cleaning to do BEFORE final reassembly.// Error: Image 432324 not found //// Error: Image 432324 not found //

Update on my bowler.. It is a Cadillac Bowler with a Grand Spare Lite back glass. And the front lane section is from a Majestic.

A REAL BOWLING ALLEY IS 60 FOOT YIKES!

Looks like it is missing the innards. but kool when project is done.

there is the small ball bowler, and the shuffle puck "bowler" theu take up less space.

Most Big Ball Bowlers have a 4.5" diameter ball. The ball rolls under the pins and over swicthes that make the pins retract. One game has leather covered pins that the ball actually makes contact with. My bowler has what is called a "Detroit Deck" where the pins are on a second deck that has the switches on the bottom side. (first picture) Also it had red arrows, inserted into the lane, that lite up showing you where to bowl to make the spare.

Bally made bowlers with leather covered pins that the ball actually makes contact with. (second picture)

It was a birthday gift...and I do have the Tommy Pinball Machine

something caused the coil to lock on. like a stuck switch.
get the schematic for it, you made need professional help with it. (not me)

Some time ago, I saw a guy in Ohio on ebarf, selling ball bowlers he may have what you need.

please check the coinbox in your Sea Raider, it may have $16.75 of my money in it.

a few years ago somebody on ebarf had all kinds of ball bowlers, but i can't remember who.

Best bet is to buy local and test before buying,
bring cash and or body guard depending how much cash.
Or have your local bank cut a check for purchase price with seller present.
