Me and dad grabbed saturdays paper early to scan the for-sales, and garage sales for pinnys.
100 bucks was the going rate in the early 80's, we sometimes got them much cheaper. I remember buying an Orbit 1 (it wasnt that old at the time, and our first SS) for 200 bucks, crap game, but the sounds were revolutionary compared to our EMs.

Dad wasnt an OP, but he liked Bally.

Better not tell the tale of my $400 Playboy (Bally) then
;)

still have it?
