Would love to see some pics of both when you get a chance

Will do.

The bowler isn't pretty. The top backglass is cracked and the bottom one has a hole broken through it - no doubt the victim of an airborne ball somewhere in its history.
But I can patch it up some and at least make it work right, so it should be tons of fun and look decent enough even if it isn't museum quality.

I keep having to walk down to the basement to fire it up and roll a few more balls and make it clickety-click. I feel like a goof. hehe.
