    Quoted from wilsonza:

    Any thoughts on a shuffle bowler vs a commercial skee ball machine? I was trying to decide which would get more play.
    Seems like the shuffle bowler would be a better game to stand around chatting while playing.

    Funny that you bring this up. I've had a shuffle alley in our game room for years. That and a Sega Outrunners twin driving vid got the most use by non pin players. About a year ago I bought a Model S skeeball game and it's replaced the shuffle alley in popularity. In fact, yesterday I decided to sell the shuffle alley because no one touches it and I could use the room. The downside in choosing one or the other is that shuffle alleys are $300-$600 while a nice skeeball is 4 times that.

    Quoted from Hoopjohn:

    They are bulky, difficult to move, and can be problematic to get dialed in 100%. Usually, you can buy a fully working EM version for $500 or a solid state version for $600.

    Agree 100%. Once you get one running well, like any EM game, you need to play it. Unfortunately, mine hasn't been played much lately so I'll have to do some maintenance before putting it on the market.015.JPG015.JPG
