Recently I acquired a 1925 bowling machine.
Face plate reads: March 31, 1925, pat # 1531420, Hinge-Pin Alley Company, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Serial #1774.
This is an 11 foot long mechanical bowler. 2 1/4 inch balls, 18 inch wide alley. It has an indicator light system for the pins and a mechanical system for resetting the pins.
Check out the US Patent website for pics/plans.
I have just started to restore it and ...I can find no information except for the patent information.
Anyone ever seen one or have any information regarding: Hinge-Pin Bowling Alley?

And you didn't post pics because you wanted us to think you were full of it? Or are you just building up the suspense? Not cool man. Post some pics please.

The patent shows the machine very nicely. I did not know the pics were so important. Attached are pics as requested.
