I just bought two skee-ball machines hoping to have enough good parts to make one. It doesn't appear that it is possible to do so. Right now, I am looking for a CPU and display for a model "H" and a wiring harness for a model "D." If I can't find those, I was thinking about building my own scoring and display system. I read in a forum here that "RandyT" developed some software to do what I want, but I've never tackled such a complex project. Does this sound like it would be easy for a newbie to attempt or should I just stick to trying to find replacement parts. I'm not afraid to solder and disassemble things, but the last programming I did was on my Commodore 64. Still skee-ball seems like it is fairly straight forward. If somebody out there has been in my shoes and can offer assistance, please let me know. Thanks, thezapguy |

a Model H board and display should be fairly easy to find on Ebay or somewhere. As for wiring, you could just make it yourself if you have the correct connectors and a pair of crimpers. Skee Balls wiring on the Classic alleys are very straight foward. |

And don't forget the manufacturer: http://www.skeeball.com/ |

Thanks for the suggestions! For some reason, Skee-ball won't reply to any of my emails though. |

I just PM'd you some information on who I contacted directly at Skeeball when I was needed some answers ...... |
