Bingo Machine - Wanted

[millsy]

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

Good luck on the hunt millsy.  But be warned when u go to pick one up.  They are massively heavy I'm sure the headbox weighs as much as a whole pinball machine

[millsy]

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.

Yep shocked the crap out of me when I picked mine up.   It's still in storage on my one day list

Under $1000 will get you a reconditioned 70's Bally Bingo. You should get a working game for less than $600. 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.

Bump - any out there

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

[millsy]

Thanks Gav
Everyone seems of the opinion - you cant give away a Bingo,yet bugger if I can find one to buy.

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

[millsy]

Would buy this machine.

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

[Steevsee]

It's a Bally bonanza, or whats left of one, from the 70 's not 50 's

Didnt realise the head was missing.
As well as the BALL  :
