amusement, I have seen similiar Bally consoles advertised on Craigslist for between $50-350 depending on conditon. I don't believe there is as much a following on those console units as there were for the upright mills and jennings unless there was something unique about the machine, though I really don't have any experience with vintage slots. Sorry.

I'll have to agree with tacman. I don't think this unit is one that is much sought after.
If anything, a person would likely pick this up simply as a nostalgia piece. Most people
into home gaming aren't much into console units. This is why Slant Tops and Bar Tops
often go for significantly less than their upright counterparts. My guess would be a guy
could get $250 range...maybe. I would list it as $250 OBO and see if he gets any bites.

It's a shame the glass is so badly broken. I think he'll find it hard to sell at any price, with so much restoration needed.

Is that a Louisiana tax stamp I see on the glass?

I agree with the other guys.  I have several of them , I bought them cheap and fixed them up but could not get much for them.  I really like the way they play.
