This is what is known as a shuffle bowler or a puck bowler as it is like bowling and shuffleboard combined. It is a United's Embassy bowler made in 1962. Up to 6 players can play with a variety of different games. Truly lots of fun....when it is working! My goal is to get it back up and running in top condition! This should not be too difficult is it is mostly working in its current state. I think that all I will need to do is disassemble anything with a coil on it and clean off the old grease. Most things are just gunked up with old grease and won't turn any longer. Sometimes the contacts need to be cleaned and adjusted as well. Once complete, this baby will be put up for sale cause I could really use the space back in my house! If anyone is interested in purchasing, please let me know and we can discuss pricing.

Looking inside from the back. All the score reels on the left will need to be disassembled, cleaned, and put back together. Replace any burnt out bulbs too. The picture below shows all the other coils & switches that will also need to be cleaned.
