Description:

Capcom Bowling is a bowling game. It is one of the few games that really loved my quarters and this has been at the top of my want-list for some time. I will write up some more details when I get a chance.

Technical:

This game can dispense tickets with a Deltronics DL-1275 ticket dispenser. This dispenser is attached through a JAMMA plus harness, a four-pin molex plug. The trackball is mapped to the JAMMA harness where the joystick is typically wired in.

About My Game:

I bought this board on January 8, 2007 from eBay. I need the marquee and a trackball. I now have a cabinet for this game! One of the members of the OC-OC forum offered a free Centipede cabinet and I was the first to indicate that I wanted it. Ironically, the cabinet had been converted to Capcom Bowling! The cabinet will need little work to get set up and I will still need to find a trackball for it. My ultimate goal for the cabinet is to fully restore it to a Centipede but until I find a Centipede board I will track the progress here. What I will likely do is try to find another Centipede control panel so I can keep a larger trackball in this control panel and swap them as needed. The cabinet is in great shape.

Repair Log:

01-20-07
Game tested in my ESWAT cabinet but has not been installed yet.
02-10-07
Game installed in my Buster Bros. cabinet for now.
09-01-07
Picked up the cabinet from DarkBubble and removed what was left of the old bowling cpo to reveal a fairly nice looking Centipede cpo (except for the extra holes and enlarged trackball).
09-02-07
Tested the monitors I picked up with the cabinet. The WG 19K7302 monitor did not power up because upon further inspection it was found to be missing R802. It has no screen burn but was only found in Pinball 2000 games so it does not have a typical mounting frame. The WG 19K4626 monitor worked but needs a cap kit and probably a new horizontal width coil since the picture did not strech across the srceen. It has pretty bad Galaga screen burn but had good color still. The 19K7302 was to go in the Centipede cab but it does not fit (and does not currently power up) so I will use the 19K4626.
