OT: Antique Puck Bowling Machine FS
Before I list this for sale on eBay I thought I'd throw this up in case someone in the club wanted it. It's a Windy City mechanical puck bowler. Up to six people can play and it keeps score like real bowling. You slide the puck down the lane and depending on placement, the corresponding pins flip up. I've had it for several years and am selling due to some remodeling. We had a lot of fun with this game. The kids love it and it was great for entertaining. I also have a "Moon Patrol" upright coin video. The "fire" button quit working after having it unplugged for a while so I doubt it's anything serious. I'm asking $400 for the bowling machine
(I think it's about 8 feet long) and $150 OBO for the Moon Patrol. PM me if you want to see them in person or want to make an offer. Feel free to ask questions about the machines themselves here. I don't have a pic of the Moon Patrol, but can take one if anyone's interested (or email them one). Here is a pic of the bowler... This is much less than they are worth or at least less than I expect to get on ebay...

I prefer cash, but if the chiller deals fall through.
..I could maybe do the sea swirl, dual 400 watt hqi (just the ballast?), and the dolphin 2500. What do you think of that?

Is it just the ballast or does it come with the cords? If it comes with the cords we can do it. I apologize if this should be a no brainer, but I don't know what else I would have to buy???

The PFO moguls come with a three prong quick connect for the ballast. Is that what you mean?

The iwaki 20? How old are the bulbs? Maybe just the bulbs if they are newer? Maybe you want to see a pic first? The moon patrol is restorable and looks decent enough for a kids gameroom or a gameroom in general. It is original, it plays perfect (except for the fire button which just happened???), it is missing the screen bezel (sp.), but I believe you can buy them still. It is from 1982 and the year is on the machine so she is an antique. Very playable.

This is going in my theatre/ game room, so I Will take it, the bulbs have one week on them, enough to fire them and break them in. Was going to just install them before I took the tank down, as I had previously had radiums on the tank.

They are fun games. We just are trying to downsize a bit. How about next weekend, whichever day works for you? I'm not looking at a callander right now but let me know. Hopefully on a day below freezing so we can back your truck up to the sliding glass doors...
