Midways 4 player bowling alley

Question from Andrew: Hey Jonathan, I actually just got something that I heard was a very hard to come by: A Midways 4 player bowling alley. I can’t find much on this machine but I’m guessing it’s rare. It works but needs a new cap kit for the monitor. I’m having some problems with the bowling ball/trackball. How can you make this thing roll nice and smoother? I put grease on the rollers but it only lasts for a little while. It’s crazy at some machines that are out here. Let me know. Thanks, Andrew

Andrew,
 
Awesome! It’s always great to add another game to your collection. As far as the trackball goes, we like to use 3-in-one oil to lubricate them. It usually lasts a good while. Here’s a link to it on Amazon: 3-IN-ONE Multi-Purpose Oil, 8 oz.
 
Of course, if the rollers are already worn out it might be best just to replace the trackball completely. You should be able to get one from any of the retailers on our Resources page. Hope that helps. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
