Title: New Bally Find, looks like a 742, but Glass dates from 1983?
Post by: Amachanic on September 14, 2011, 01:32:59 AM
Hello... I just picked up a Bally EM that has the looks of an early 742 style with the topper and short cabinet, but the glass dates are from 1982 and 1983.   :103-    The machine works great after some cleaning and oiling, and is in very nice condition.. I think it will fit in my collection nicely and it only cost me $275 with the stand..   :89-  I'm posting pics of the inside tags, hopper board, as well as the rest of the machine. Hopefully someone might know this model Number since the tags missing...  :8- :37-   I looked all over inside, sometimes the model numbers marked on the reels assembly or hopper but nothing...  :99-

Thanks Gary

Don't know the model number, but it looks like a good clean machine and you got it for a great price.

Thank you Barry. I figured you would know. Were these special made for the Navy or is that just a name?  Gary
