Title: DIY Bowler?
Post by: funbobby on November 19, 2019, 02:40:32 pm
I read through all of the DIY Skeeball threads recently while restoring a couple of machines....that got me thinking.  I was wondering if anyone here had built a ball bowler.  I've seen a few youtube video's where people built some elaborate lanes using mini pins/balls but those all require a pin setter.  Since they make bowling games for kids,  where the pins flip up, then re-set,  I wonder how tough it would be to build a  "beefed up" lane and ball return and steal the electronics for scoring out of one of the bowler games that are out there?  (something like in the attached pic)

p.s. - not sure if the main forum is the correct place for this, but I couldn't find anywhere else to put it.
