Title: Help identifying model of Bally slot Post by: Bmrsnr on January 02, 2012, 01:08:44 PM Hello! I stumbled upon this site trying to find any information about a slot machine I acquired and hope you guys can help. it is a Bally 3 reel machine, probably from the '70s. The plate with the model info has been removed so I don't have any info but the pictures. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think it's one of the very first conversions (mine's a 5 coin), and probably made around the mid to late 70's. It's pretty cleanly done, with new formica all over. They reattached the original tag on the side. A nice job, but the top unit mounting and config kinda sux.
Would like to know who built these and where they were made....

That machine has probably had several identities in its lifetime. The paytables in the glass are not original. Most single coin Ballys of that vintage were made for the British market, the "200 plus prize" sounds English to me. If so, the top box may have held a change mechanism. Is it original, ie are the sides in one piece, or is it a separate screw-on unit?
