Skee Ball sound samples?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a specific set of sound samples of a Skee Ball model H (I believe) from the 1980's. Not sound samples of the ball going down the lane, but sound samples the machine make when being used (the electronic sounds). This video is an example of the sounds I'm talking about (start at 1:18):

 

 

 

The reason is, I don't have room in my house for a full size Skee Ball, so I was going to modify a toy Speed Ball (by Ideal) to look and sound just like a Skee Ball model H. This is a somewhat ambitious project for me, but I think it can be done. That's how I remember Skee Ball sounding and that is why I'm look for these specific sound samples. By the way here is the toy (that's pretty fun to play I might add) that I plan on making into a mini Skee Ball model H (or at least look like a reasonable facsimile):

This is going to be more than just a new paint job. I plan on making the header above the play area with proper graphics/lights and of course new electronics that will use the sound samples I'm looking for.

I played a Skee-Ball at Dave & Busters (poor man's barcade) in the Palisades Center (in Nyack) and I like that one's sounds... "boop doo dee doop doop doop doo boop doo dee doop doop doop!"
