Vintage Aurora Skittle Pool Game

Aurora was the big home slot car racing set company in the early to mid 60s- they sold hundreds of thousands of those sets at Christmas time.
During Christmas time we would put a 4x8 plywood over our 7 foot home pool table to race the slot cars.

My older brothers had the Big Lionel train sets in the late 50s into early 60s then the slot cars and smaller HO train sets took hold for kids born after the first post war baby boom.

Parts to convert Gold Crown 5 to ball return

Those that I've seen are nothing but roller coaster tracks. Balls derail and fall to the floor. Some derail and wedge on the cover boards. Some don't even make it through the funnel. The ball hunt is something familiar to all pool players.
Whoever set up a Gold Crown to where there are problems with the ball return has got to be one of the biggest morons on the planet. They are simple, completely visible, and there is nothing for the balls to hang up on. My ball return GCI is 60 years old and still works flawlessly. (OMG, Im sounding like a grumpy old man, kinda like Garzar :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:)
