    Good day.

    I picked up a 1950 Chicago Coin Mfg. Trophy Bowl puck bowling game. This is my first EM restoration though not my first rodeo with pinball and other games. I've been scrolling through the webs looking for examples of the game but having trouble finding any good pictures. There is one post on Pinside and has some good photos but I am looking for a few more just so I can have an idea what I am in for.

    This game is ultimately going into a charity auction if I can get it working and cleaned up. The cabinet sides are in great shape and I think will be left alone with just the lane being cleaned up and resealed. The overall game is dirty, missing fuses, and needs some fabricated parts such as the plastic shields. And it is missing the pucks. The glass is in reasonable shape for the age but needs a little repair. Some of my pictures are below.

    If someone out there happens to have one in good shape and is willing to share some pictures, I would appreciate it. And if folks have spare parts like the plastic shield retainer, I would be interested in possibly acquiring a few of the missing bits.

    Cheers,
    Justin
