Skeeball machine ID help

[Entropy42]

Can anyone help me identify this skeeball machine?

Its got the old style of lights inside the display, with single bulbs rather than the LED bars.  Made in '83.

Trying to figure out what the model name is so I can research it a bit, since its missing some parts.

So after doing a little more searching here on the forums I came across a picture in another Skeeball ID thread that looks extremely similar to the lanes I'm asking about.

That picture is of a 6 footer, while the 2 I have are 13 footers, but the "Winner" marquee looks identical.  I called the company who has that Skee Ball machine, but they didn't have any information about it.  Unfortunately, that still doesn't tell me a whole lot about who makes it or what the odds are of finding parts for it.

On a related note, does anyone have a sense of how hard/expensive it would be to convert a Skee Ball machine to use a more modern LED display and circuit boards?

a lot more than a handful of bulbs would be. you could always try to find an LED version of the bulbs used in the display. I'm just thinking that if you are going to the trouble of trying to find replacement parts instead of just fabricating them, why change whats there?

Sorry I wasn't clear.  My concern is that if this is a non-standard Skee Ball machine (not actually made by Skee Ball) finding replacement parts (other than simple stuff like lights) for it may be completely impossible.  For example, one of the 2 machines is missing 2 of the 3 circuit boards that are supposed to be in it.  I will not be able to fabricate my own, and may not be able to find replacement boards, so the only other way to salvage it would be to buy a set of boards from a "real" Skee Ball machine and convert the electronics in this one to work with that control board.  I would only be changing the display to make it work with the real Skee Ball control boards, not for the sake of LED lighting.  (I believe I meant to say LCD anyway).

that is definitely a skee ball knock off..there were tons of them at one point. If you take a picture of the display and wiring your machine has, I actually have a brand new skee ball classic LED display that I'd be willing to sell if it would work for you.
