This is an awesome 1950's Chicago Coin Bowling Machine! YES IT WORKS! It is a 6 player and uses the Round Balls not a puck, and scores correctly for all 6 players. The machine is set to free play and you select how many players you have. The coin gear is still in the machine and it even has the coin box that catches the coins. As you can see this is a beautiful machine. It needs a few bulbs replaced but is a great looking and functioning machine. Please take a look at the game and ask any and all question prior to bidding. This machine is for pick-up, but can be truck shipped if the buyer pays all charges direct to trucking company. It comes apart in 3 pieces and is easy to move. I have had this machine in my basement for 12 years and works great. It even has a ball return that sends them right back to you. 4 round original balls are included. The over all dimensions are 12' 8" long x 31" wide and 71" tall. See below for shipping dimensions.

















The machine is available for pick-up in Grand Rapids without a fee. If shipping is required, I can help set it up if needed. Buyer to pay all shipping charges direct to the shipping company. I have found very good rates with American Vanlines (Beltman Group) at 1-800-959-8880 and the information you will need to get a price quote is: Dimensions ( 3 pieces) 29" x 45" x 26", 107" x 31" x 35", 17" x 31" x 35" and the total weight of approx. 300 lbs. It is coming from Zipcode 49505 Grand Rapids, Mi. With the vanline shipping company you do not need a crate. They will wrap and secure the machine for you. Full Insurance must be carried on all shipping. If you want to truck ship with another company, please set up and quote with whomever you like. If the shipper is located in Grand Rapids, Mi, I will deliver the game to the shipping company for free. Truck shipping other than American Van Lines usually will need the game to be crated ?? There will be an extra charge for this if needed. I personally have had great luck with the American Vanline and I think you will find it to be about half the price of other truck shipping. Payment is due with-in 3 days of auction end. Please ask any and all questions and Good Luck!

I have had some questions about the coin mech, Yes it does Work and I have put the machine back to coin Play. It works on one dime per player. The lock and key works and the original coin box is in it. The Ball the Return button also works, but I have never had to used it, as a ball is returned after your throw, as it is supposed to do.

I had a question on the weight of the machine. I am being told it around approx. 500lbs. I will keep checking and update if needed. I was told by a shipper because of the size, it will be charged by dimensional weight. If I find out an exact weight I will post it. If anyone has had one of these weighed before please let me know and I will forward the information. Thank you to all!
