Title: 989-5 ??
Post by: Hund on October 04, 2011, 10:06:36 PM
Hi,
I'm new here ,,, howdy all

I bought two bally slot machines,
The first one is a Bally 989-5, 989-104
I can't for the life of me find any on the internet.  :60-


And the second is a 1090-1, 090-1-864
And I have the same issue. I can find some 1090's but nothing with the same glass.
I wonder if it's a put together with a bunch of parts ??

They are both really cool .
The only problem is the .5 machine on a payout the bell don't ring.... but that will be another thread

Anyone have any info on both ?
I can try and post up some pics if it helps
Thanks , Ron

The change light on the .5 don't work and it needs a cover

The .25 machine has a change button but no light on the top ...

Just had the biggest pay out yet on the .25 ,,,,, 300coins !
I need to add some more quarters ,,, ran it dry ! :97-

If your talking about the light on the top, there called candles.. I've always like a nickel machine just because you don't see then that often.. Pics are on the small side, can't get then big enough to see the machines details...

I don't think there rare and the prices vary by location. My guess there are worth $300-$500 each, but as I said it could be more or less in your location. The most I've paid for one is $500 and it was a Money Honey and the other was a MGM 5 coin 5 line fruit machine model #955.

I agree with you Amachanic. Prefer Five cent slots also but for a different reason. It take close to $250 to fill the hopper on a .25 cent machine but only $50 in nickels. And who wants to continuously open the slor door, slide out the hopper and grab more quarters?
