An IR Strata Bowling. Pretty sweet little game, love the fact that you actually roll a ball down a lane on this instead of spinning a trackball. Works 100%, only problem I have noticed so far is the ball return is cracked and loose. Super clean inside and out. Came with 4 black cue balls and 3 white cue balls. This one is for my parents. $80 + mileage.

Don't have any pics from after it was set up at my parents, but here's a few that the seller sent me before I picked it up.

That looks pretty sweet. I once had the billiards version of this... even use the short pool cues... it was kind of fun but lacked something. "Bowling" looks like it lends itself to this concept better. I bet your parents will love it.
 
Nice pickup, great shape. Those cabs are usually beat up when I find them.
 
Nice pickup. I have seen a couple of the pool ones come up for sale but none of these around here plus the price was a whole lot more than $80. The are pretty big cabs though but as long as it works you made out. Hmmm, maybe I need to finally have a kid or two so they can buy me cools things.

Yea, the cab is pretty big and surprisingly heavy. I think I might have played one when I was 5 or 6 at a local bowling alley. This was up on CL for 5 days. I went back and forth with "should I or shouldn't I" for a while, glad I went for it though, it's got some pretty unique gameplay. Just hope it holds up, pretty sure parts won't be easy to come by.

Better get started on those kids, it will be a long time before they start buying you cool shit. :)
