Title: Bally Slot Identity?
Post by: Talos on October 28, 2013, 11:04:09 PM
Could this machine be identified? Date, Model, or if it is a Heinz 57? Value? I have several already. Is it worth collecting. I'm also adding an Alfred E. Neuman Bally?. Is it worth collecting? They both appear to be hold and draw types.

Thank You,
Tom

Is the manufacturing tag on the lower right hand side (below the handle) or has it been removed? It looks to be there but I can't tell by your photo.
Nice machine, I want one...(the top photo)

Sorry I did not get back sooner, but for some reason I could not get on to the website. These are just a couple that I found for sale on CL. Here is the link for the top one for you: http://orlando.craigslist.org/clt/4128350548.html.

This game looks like one that I bought for my in-laws several years ago.  The difference is that their machine was motorized.  Insert the coins and push start and a motor turns the reels.  No Handle to pull.  Are these the same machine?

Thank you.  The in-laws games is more of a skill stop even though the reels will stop by themselves after a while.

this machine "big prize" was designed for arcade use - one size token in - different one out - has a door on the top which the operator would dump tokens in - a chute down to the hopper to fill.  The skill stop buttons are for arcade use - there is no coin divertor as tokens/coins in would drop into coin chute .

Barry you are absolutely right.  I always wondered what that hatch on the top of their machine was for.  It does however take and pay in quarters.  Thanks for the history.  You are a treasure to us here on the list.
