Question
i have a 1965 united oasis bowling machine in good condition and i am wondering what it is worth and who might be interested in buying it.

Answer
Hi There,

    The value of these is around $350.00 to $400.00 but the big problum with them is there so large and take up a lot of room, and expensive to ship, so sometimes you see them sell for a lot less then their value. There are many different kinds and types of bowling machines out there, and I would have to see a photo of you to be sure of value. If you would like to e-mail me a photo of it, email it to jackpot7@ix.netcom and please try to keep the photo's small.
Thank You
Sincerely
Rodger Knutson

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
