I'd like to buy this for myself, but I've flirted with the ball bowler fantasy enough to know my 350sq. foot gameroom space isn't very accommodating.

I'm with you Alex, always wanted one but it takes up so much pinball space. I saw the one you linked to last month and it looks like a nice deal for someone (and it's close).

I know Tim N. really liked his ball bowler when he had it because he could fold all his laundry on it at one time, and use it as a buffet table for parties. :lol:

Did you get yours up and running yet Alex? I wish I had a picture of that beast in the back of your SUV.

No I ended up selling it. I discovered if I am going to have a ball bowler (which I probably shouldn't) it needs to have multiple lane sections. I have a tight corner at the basement entry and low ceilings that make it tricky getting something of that length in.

I actually have owned 3, and had a Bally Challenger much like the one for sale, cleaned up and working at one time. The other two didn't make it in. They are a compromise on space and as mentioned present some transportation/space/entry challenges your typical pinball doesn't. Still I find it hard to resist the urge to buy them. They are just so dang fun..
