I've hearing about different kinds of Bally Alpha's on here.
What are the different kinds?
Like a Hee Haw, what kind is it?
Thanks Ford

Heehaw is just a theme, there are several different kinds of them.

My favorite is the S9000 version which is the phyical reels with a screen up top. There is also a full video version as well that IMO isn't nearly as fun to play.

Thanks. So if I want something like Hee Haw or something like it with reels & screen on
top I want an S9000.

Ford  Hee Haw was a educational Television program from the late 60s, featured such super stars as Jr. Samples, Lulu Roman, Grandpa Jones, Roy Clark, and Minnie Pearl.   Best know for it's classical musical productions,

The above copied  from Red Neck Wikipedia,

I thought I was the only one OLD enough to remember Hee Haw.

Hee Haw is a Alpha Elite S9e (S9-1S5--20)

Be cautious with what you buy into.  Many of the games that use the top box LCD can either be a 20" top box LCD or a 15" LCD.  The same game theme can come in either cabinet.  The ones that come in a (S9-1S5--15) model which is only a 15" top box LCD and uses a glass panel around it rather than the 20" version, may limit you with game kit changes later, they are generally older machines, circa 2006, and my gut feeling tells me that replacement monitors are going to be harder to find if you want to buy them used in the years to come since the 20" version is more prevalent.

Thanks Jim, I knew you'd chime in here and set me straight.
One of these days there WILL be one of those machines in my collection.

Nope  r273 is older than dirt.

Jim, it's about time you get some more in.

That v32 roulette game would be pretty incredible. It'll be a couple decades before I can afford one of those  :72-

Well actually I have shopped and distributed over 30 Alphas at this point, both uprights and my now favorite Cinereel.  A lot of great 5-reel titles have come and gone like Diamonds and Devils Deluxe, Mystic Lamp, Black Velvet, and my personal favorite 4-reel Fireball Frenzy.  Unfortunately not enough of the QH's to go around to help all of you on my wait list and have only had the one Hee Haw.  It's just a matter of time.

And don't you forget it! I was watching that show when
I was in my 40's. :97-

Jim's the man to get those machines in someday. :3-

Have a Bally Alpha Mystic Lamp for sale for CHEAP!!!!   :103-
Will also entertain offers to part it out. The top glass is cracked, can barely see it when it's lit up. Needs new formica on both sides also.
Will not run at this time as I am getting error [ MECHANICAL REELS NOT CONFIGURED ]

I thought you were taking it to Jim to get it running.

Nah, wait a little bit and get a GOOD machine with a good game.
