Not sure youll ever see another of these on Ebay... and this is in stunning condition!

RARE RARE RARE!!!!!!!! Any true collector will want one of these.. im sure therell be some international bidding on this too.
Im SO suprised to see one of these listed.
Anyone not know the importance of this machine.... This is the FIRST machine produced by BALLY.
Oddly enough it had some 50,000+ produced... very few exist today.
Very rare to see this for sale in Australia.. well worth watching this auction end.

My guess... $2000+

Isn't this how the name "Bally" started as the name of the company?
I read something somewhere about this.
I think it went something like they were so popular that they named the company after this game.

Hmm, only at $400 with a day and a half to go.

Expect some last minute bidding, I imagine.

Ballyhoo. What a classic. I was just reading that Ray Maloney & Co, made $100,000 in 90 days.
Now that's a lot of money in 1932. Production over 75,000. The world went mad for it.

That is petty cool. A pinball machine that actually has pins in it.
