Check out this dedicated Capcom Bowling on ebay:

That thing is sweet! I never knew they made a dedicated version of this. The painted sideart is awesome, and the trackball is HUGE. I've never wanted a Capcom Bowling, but now I do. :)

So who on here has one of these?

I have one that belonged to an executive from the cabinet company that was making them. HUO and beautiful.

If you like Capcom Bowling, check out Tri-Sports. It has the bowling, but also has pool and mini-golf.

You should be able to get either one pretty cheap (~$100-$150). These games just don't command much money, even though I've seen some sellers on eBay wanting $300+ for one.
 
Not to high jack a thread I have a tri sports that I pulled from a dig dug cab. I have a nice marquee and working pcb of anyone wants it make me an offer
 
I have one and the cabinet is in great shape but it has a repo CPO on it, I would love to get one of those original CPO for mine but have not been able to find one.
 
Yep, it really makes a difference when you play the game as it was originally intended. It's too bad there are so many BAD kit conversions out there:

it kinda watered down and later killed the respect this game should have. The huge trackball is awesome. I love the screened/painted side art on the birch.
 
Wow!!

That cabinet looks great. The side art really makes the cabinet pop.

The best part is that big bowling looking track ball !!! That thing is sweet. :)
 
I think the Coors Light Roms are the ones to get. I still have this custom bezel I designed for the game several years ago:

I would love to get a dedicated one, but $400 is just too much for it.

$400 for a rare, dedicated UR with universal appeal (kids, women, etc.) and in good shape is fine IMHO.

And, though it was responsible for many a conversion, it was also fairly popular.

That's what I'm talkin' about - every Capcom Bowling I've ever seen has been a crappy conversion. Someone needs to take this one and lovingly restore it to a Pac...
 
I own a dedicated Capcom Bowling too and even got it for only $1 at a Super Auctions. It was well played on location though and I wish someone could repro the CPO's since mine is just shot.
