Title: Mystery Manual - E1000/2000 game listing
Post by: MarkInAz on August 11, 2009, 04:03:15 AM
Anyone know what manual these scanned pages came from?  Found them on the web but there was no mention of the reference material.

I'm pretty sure they're index pages from a pictorial book called Bally Slot Machines, by Marshall Fey.  I thought i had it, but can't see it on my bookshelf.

Yes, it is. The title is Bally Slot Machines -- Electro-Mechanicals 1964-1980. It is a yellow soft-cover booklet that is stapled together, not bound. I'll add a picture of the cover as soon as my scanner warms up.. :79-



<ADD> Here is the cover. It's 64 pages with an additional 16 page green "insert" supplement covering the E series. If you're into EM's, this book is more like a shopping catalog! Mine has pencil check marks at the top of the page of every machine that I was interested in, and two or three on the pages of my favorites. The exercise turned out to be rather silly as I ended up with far more checked pages than non-checked ones.  :72-

Thanks very much gents.  It might be one I'll have to pick up soon.  I expect it will be like the Sears catalog when I was a kid- a check next to every toy I wanted for Xmas.   :91-

Yup! Be careful -- that little booklet ends up costing hundreds of times the $9.95 pricetag listed on the cover! :89-
