If the pin-CG was good and the drilling wasn't too far off, then yes.
I can't see the drilling or the track from the pictures.
Otherwise, no.
But then I have an undrilled Slate Blue just dying to be drilled ....

That's a 16 lb one. The 15 lb one I'm saving for when I get old and decrepit. Well, more decrepit than I am now.

FYI The one time I had a GLowing AMulet I shot 675 with it. Then I learned it was only a 14 lb ball. After that I couldn't use it any more. My brain wouldn't let me. I sold it and the guy used it as a spare ball.

Had a 16lb one...doubles nicely as a drier lane ball and 10 pin shooter.

It draws attention from all angles of the bowling alley...some bad some good...

Wish mine never got stolen.

Darn, I bought mine from Visionary for like $75 shipping included! The great thing about this ball is it glows without an outside source, place it under a light and it glows! Bruce

Yeah, but how many decades ago???
I've been using Buddies for the last 5 years or so I don't even remember seeing it back then.

I'd put in a bid Scott but I already got one.  

In good condition I would look for offers at least higher than 60 plus actual shipping.  

The ball kind of makes me think of the Pink Hammer, I got one plus a back up .  

The glowing amulet or some like to call it the experiment that went terribly wrong and of course there are many other sayings certainly makes me think about Faballs Gum Ball.

Overall I'd say the ball works wonderfull off lighter volumes of oil.  I went to a tournement once and I was striking like crazy with it and people were asking me is that a house ball-they could not believe it was a hard urethane company ball.  I guess it does kind of look like a polyester and I think some mistake it for that.  

My local house does not offer cosmic bowling or black light bowling so unfortunatly I can't see it head down the lane under that condition  

Certainly a very fun and neat ball to have
