The mounting holes are exactly like yours on the Toss Em'. So looks like we have a good enough match to make something work. I'll you keep you posted on the progress.

Sweet.... that's kinda what I was expecting to find out anyways. You should be good to go with the "Skee Ball" older style version then.
:cheers:

Indeed looking forward to seeing those.
And it would also give us something to look at if further trouble shooting is needed.

Sorry for coming up missing guys.....The Fab_U_Ball came out great!!! New paint and alot of cleaning and rewiring, and it is working perfect! The new LED Display cover fit perfectly....
Thanks for all the help.... :applaud: :notworthy:
Also attached is the manual I got on it....not much, but it did actually help a little. As you can see by the quality of the manual, it was definitely a fly_by_night outfit who sold these...
Kevin Mullins:
Awesome !! :cheers:
That turned into a very nice looking machine.
What did you find as being your initial reset problem ?

Works just like a regular skeeball machine....alot of work went into it, but the final result was worth it. The reset problem ended up being in the ball sensor, it wasn't counting all the balls when I tripped the release spring. A little cleaning, and had to lower it abit. Once I did that it counted 9 balls and reset. I bypassed the coin mech and just added an arcade button on the side, this drops the balls and starts the game. I was a little worried about the cork board on the ramp, it was pretty messed up. I had read not to paint it, but I bit the bullet and painted it, and it came out and works great. Originally, the tops of the sides were red, but I decided to paint those yellow to look more like a regular SkeeBall machine.
Here is a direct link to download the PDF manual, it is in a zip file to make it easier.

I am going to order a set of new balls from Happ, the ones I have are pretty bad. I might have a new marquee made up, but other then that, it is golden and the family is really enjoying the new addition to the gameroom. ;D
