H, Read Th!
The Skee-Ball Home Arcade Premium is made from flammable materials. Do not install this game
in a place near open flames or hot surfaces. Also, don't put it under falling anvils.
This game contains electrical components. Be sure to routinely inspect wires and couplings for
damage.
IMPORTANT: Only plug this game into a proper 120V 3-prong, grounded outlet.
Do not attempt to modify this game's wiring or circuitry in any way.
This game should be assembled by two (2) or more adults, but not more than ten. That would be a
lot. You'd be stepping on each other's feet and... Yeah, two is enough.
Don't try to be a tough guy, because this game weighs approximately 240 pounds when fully
assembled. Four (4) or more adults must be involved when moving the assembled game.
CAUTION: The game cabinet pieces may tip over. Ensure that the game is assembled and
operated on a level surface that can support its weight.
Do not climb, sit or stand on the game. Feel free to dance next to it, just not on top of it.
Adults must carefully supervise children who are using this game. I believe the children are our
future.
This game is intended for indoor use only. So, don't take it fishing.
Do not place liquids or beverages on the game. Also, don't feed it after midnight.

Assbly
Thank you for your purchase, and congratulations on owning an American favorite!
Now it's time to assemble this baby! Don't be nervous. This won't be like that entertainment center
that took six hours and you still ended up with extra parts. I promise this will be easy and you'll be
rollin' in no time.
1. Carefully remove all pieces from the packaging. Make sure you have all the parts shown in the
diagram. If anything is damaged or missing contact the store where you bought your game.
2. Set the HEAD section in place. (If you're going to have a big argument about where the game
goes, best do that now.)

3. Insert the JOINERS into the slots on the RAMP making sure to match the L and R on each
piece. (Fig. A) Use six BIG HONKIN' SCREWS to secure them. Be careful if using an electric
screwdriver as over-tightening may cause unintended damage.
4. With the JOINERS attached, slide the RAMP into the HEAD (Fig. B) and use the rest of the BIG
HONKIN' SCREWS to secure both sections together. Now, hold your screwdriver to the sky and
proclaim, “Skee-Ball® sections, I unite thee!”
5. Reach under the game (watch for snakes) and connect cable plugs. If you like, you can pretend
you're a mad scientist building a time machine.
6. Hold on, we’re almost there! Go behind the game and ever so carefully snip the zip-tie to
release the power cord.
7. Plug the game in into a wall outlet.

The first patent for Skee-Ball® was granted to Joseph Fourestier Simpson of Vineland, N.J in 1908.
By 1915 Skee-Ball® tournaments had became extremely popular, particularly in the Philadelphia area,
with both men’s and women’s teams.
In 1932 the first national Skee-Ball® tournament was held at Layman Sternbergh’s Skee-Ball® Stadium, in
Atlantic, NJ. Over one-hundred players qualified from around the country with the top prize of $1,000,
an enormous sum of money at the time!
In 1960, the automatic ticket dispenser, was added to Skee-Ball® games.
From the 1980's onward, Skee-Ball® games have been a staple in national family entertainment chains
like Chuck E. Cheese.
In 2016, Bay Tek Entertainment, a long time builder of arcade games, acquired Skee-Ball, Inc. and moved
production to the small town of Pulaski, Wisconsin.
Skee-Ball® is truly an American classic!
