    The lamps in those things were hot.

    Looking at the picture again, that's not what I kept score on.
    I did so on Brunswick equipment, which used a more vertical glass layout filling the middle of the table, rather than horizontal layout at the top of the table.

    Yeah, this is an old AMF scoring table. I used this one A LOT when I was bowling heavily in the late '70s-early '80s. Our center was an AMF center. You used a grease pencil on the glass. And they were H.O.T!!! Used to sweat just sitting at the table. And people actually used the ash trays. But no drinks were allowed in what we called the "bowling pit" (the seating area, score tables, approaches/ball returns were located a step or two down from the concourse), so no beer bottles. But there were cup holders! Kinda brings a memorable tear to my eye...
