First of all i really dig this game played it recently, and wanted to know a few things about it.. where can I find the audio track list of the songs used for this game, (love 50's music!)? also what track ball was utilized in the machine ? does anyone know? I currently have a betson imperial i think it's a 2.5'' and it feels too light and hops up every once and a while. To me the trackball in this bowling game feels alot more solid / heavy i guess would be the word id describe it as. Also even back in the day i remember centipede / and capcom's bowling from the 80's to have a similar feel.

Have you looked at its home page?  They list the music somewhere in there, as well as lots more info.

My guess from looking at the manual is either a 3" or 80mm TB, but that's a total guess from the part number.  OTTOMH, centipad had a 2 1/2" TB, missile command had a 4 1/5" TB, not sure about capcom bowling. 

One thing I find interesting in the manual is the TB is mounted rotated 45 degrees, much like marble madness was.  (AFAIK, MM is the only game with rotated TB currently in mame.)  This will have a slightly different feel, err, play might be a better word.
