Question
Hey Larry, I just picked up a CCM Melody Lane puck bowler, It’s very cool and it’s not too far gone to bring back, I am going to restore it for my family, and I was wondering if you knew of a good place to get replacement parts, specifically both back glasses and the coin door and mechanism, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks’.
Hi Rick, It can be hard to find parts. You might check with pinball resource, or try to find a similar vintage game that's in bad shape to rob parts off of. Also on the KLOV boards they have a Electromechanical Game page where you could post your wants. Good Luck! Larry
