Anyone know if the ball knocks down all the pin or is there a chance you can only knock down a few?

Thanks for posting this machine. It is a Nishijin Model A machine with the bowling theme - probably one of the most common, in my opinion. The pins "dangle" from the top of the center feature, so they never really fall down. When the ball enters the 'bowling lane' it will knock the pins to make them swing back and forth.

Here are the pictures from the ad for future reference.

Yep.

Nishijin Model A Green Bowling with standard pins.

I think it may be one of the most common CF's but there are 4 variations of it.

I have the same exact machine. I also recently picked up a Purple bowling with Red pins. (kinda hard to find a purple bowling and even harder to find the red pins. )

Buy the time you buy it , maybe ship it, and try and find all of the parts missing on the back it would be an expensive machine. The parts are available but it is a project piece for someone that is for sure.

every now and then there are quite a few that pop up for sale in Washington. Just keep checking this part of the site. Jacksje4 posts many CL ads from all over the US every day and a few come from the washington area.
