Ever seen a Skee Ball like this?

Dr. Spa:
Ok, so it's highly unlikely anyone has. It was made in 1944, and I found it on it's way to the dump. It's only 7' long, takes nickels, and based on hours and hours of research, could be the last one on existence . Only going to run about a grand to restore ;-) *gulp*. Anyways, at the moment I'm trying to find correct netting for it. Cotton, 1-1/2" openings. Any ideas? Or, shot in the dark, ever seen one before?
BigCurtis:
No, I had not, thanks for sharing that. Should be a fun restore, a museum piece for sure.
Dr. Spa:
Thanks! It came out GREAT...and right on budget. Did a reproduction backglass. Couldn't find anything even close to the original green battleship linoleum used for the lane covering, so went with black rubber 1/4" floor covering. AND, I added a bell from and old pinball machine to give it a little more excitement.
Nephasth:
