I had one in 1964-65. I was three. It was given to me earlier in life (whew). I remember distinctly watching beyond fascinated and learning how the operations worked. Between this game and Legos, guess who became a mechanical engineer!
I owned one of these as a kid. Best toy I ever had. Wish I still had it. (And I had the brown one like this. They also made it in blue -- same red pinsetter, but blue around the edges).
DAMN!! That's nice! I was 13 years-young when these games hit the market. Eldon also made the bowling game that Kellogg's cereal sold for $1 back then.
You turn the crank handle to lower the pin deck, and then drop the pins in the pin deck manually, then turn the crank handle to raise the pin deck, The sweep assembly and ball return will also operate when crank handle is turned. Thank you, for your question,

Terrific video. Well done
I am glad you liked the Eldon video. I am working on a sequel. It should be on TH-cam soon. maggiedog2005
