Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the hobby of restoring classic arcades.  So far I've done and am about to finish up Centipede this weekend.  I've been watching a lot of John's Channel...so informative.  This weekend I'm picking up a Bally-Midway 10 pin Deluxe bowling arcade that a friend of mine picked up for me on Craigslist (sort of half arcade/half shuffle board).  I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with this machine.  I've found it difficult to find anything online...like tech manual on the arcade.  I can't wait to get my hands on it and see what I have to work with.

Thanks...look forward to getting plugged into this community.

welcome to the forums. If i recall correctly that game is VERY mechanical but I don't believe any more difficult to fix than a good EM pinball machine.

Oh wow! That thing is cool. It has a CRT? I have never seen that. Amazing!

If it's like Baby Pac and other Bally pinball games, watch out for the batteries on those MPUs.
