Sportcraft 27075 Skee Ball Questions
« on: March 07, 2013, 09:22:06 am »
Picked up some parts from a Sportcraft "Arcade Bowling Game Model 27075" at a nearby thrift shop.

Here's what I've found about this model so far:

- It was an 8 foot model.

- It uses 2.5" balls.

- The score and control connections on the back use a 6P6C (6 position, 6 conductor) connection -- also referred to as an RJ-25 -- similar to the 6P4C/RJ-11 used for telephones.

Haven't been able to find anything like a schematic, owner's manual, or even pictures of it online.

1. Pretty sure that whoever donated it included the wrong wall wart (4.5v, 300mA) -- What is the correct current rating for the 6v adapter?

2. What buttons are on the original? Start/Reset/etc.

3. What scores were assigned to the various scoring rings on the original?

4. Any idea about the pinout for the Score and Control connectors?

I'll probably end up not using the scoreboard when I get around to doing a full build, but I'd like to see if it works, in case someone can use it.

Anyone know how long Thatpurplestuff will keep tweaking it before he releases his software?   :lol

I'm also looking for what the correct current rating for the 6v adapter. If you happen to ever find out, I would love to know. Thank you.

Welcome aboard, Rewfus.

You have a Sportcraft 27075?

If so, would you mind posting some pictures and any info you have on it? (Manual scans, controls, wiring, measurements, angles, etc.) 

Info and pics on this model are almost impossible to find.

I'm actually not sure the exact model that I have.  Picked it up for free in the neighborhood listserv.  Here are the pics:




If that is what you are looking for, I would be happy to try to send you whatever I can muster.

It might be same.   :dunno

Any more information, wiring pinouts, measurements, and pics you can provide are greatly appreciated.

Maybe in the process of taking some photos you'll find some more markings on the bottom or back.  ;D
