Title: Bingo Machine - Wanted
Post by: millsy on January 29, 2013, 07:10:30 PM: Non working OK - But needs to have all parts.
Needs to have a decent Backglass & Playfield.
As the freight can cost more than the machine - Needs to be Sydney/Illawarra area.
Budget up to $600

Post by: millsy on January 30, 2013, 12:49:50 AM: Fortunately Dan the headbox can be removed separately,so it would fit in my Mirage,just would have to make 2 trips (The Head then the cabinet)
As you mentioned - Would be like transporting 2 em's.

If I were you, I'd aim for a 50's Bally Bingo as they are much better games and they retain their value. They will cost a bit more than a 70's Bingo - but they are worth it.

Post by: Retropin on February 12, 2013, 12:43:42 AM: No.. but i did buy a 1957 Miss America off Ebay a few years back.. went to pick it up and when lifted, the cabinet came up without anything else.. completely rotten!

What i do have though is all the parts from it, including the whole back panel with the 6 million steppers etc ( the PF i kept as a wall hanger).... when you find one and need spares, just holler cos they are in the shed with the " handy one day" tag on them

Post by: pinball god on May 28, 2013, 06:45:42 PM: Sorry for the little info but I saw a $250 one on gumtree. Took little notice as I'm not in the market. Can't remember game nor location. It was listed as a pinball that's how I came across it

Oh you dont want to buy that " machine".. its not a machine.. its the cabinet of a machine cut off below the PF. In essence, its nothing more than a bagatelle game now
