Post by: Jackpot on September 12, 2009, 05:23:07 PM This is a Bally Draw Bell, one of the many different e/m consoles made in the later 40's. Some one has changed the look on this one, that chrome on the front is something someone has added and the top frame should be all wood with no metal trim. Working, these don't sell for much, maybe 300.00 to 500.00 but nothing stops you from asking more for it. There great machines, and for the life of me I can't understand why they don't sell for more.

Post by: FOXSSLOTS1 on September 12, 2009, 09:31:48 PM these old woold consoles - bally and keeney were a great machine in their day - however - the wiring in most cases was wax coated over cloth - needless to say - trying to color match wiring to a diagram - ouch. The Bally were alot easier to work on than the Keeney (I have worked on alot of these and do not want to see another one in my lifetime). These are not a machine for the novice - if they sit - they will not run. The wood console king lives in Kansas - Bob Nelson if I remember correctly - he was making the glass for these machines. If you can find a buyer you can hide from - sell it - if its a friend or family - enough said.

I just send you a PDF file via email, which is the original manual for this Bally Club Bell. Check your email................. Jackpot :89- :89- :89- I wish I had this kind of luck finding manuals, BUT, I always pick the very hard Manuals to find. Oh.... I have some other bally draw bell stuff and I'll send that to you also so you will have tons of information and paper on this. :254- Title: Re: Yea ever seen one of these???
