There's been a bingo machine on ebay of late. $700 but no bids or not enough for the seller.

Seems the earlier machines fetch more.
Would like to add a Bingo to my collection in the new year.
If you understand how they work, their not as boring as you think.

Its been in the shop for yrs. The guy said its not for sale because it doesnt work. He said it was but sat there for yrs now doesnt work i noticed it had no legs too. Think there up close to $1000 for this not to sure on price. About six months ago they had a pinny there with a bicycle theme never sern one before aqua in colour. He mentioned $1400 for it and it didnt work. W ent back few months later yhey said they had sold it. After saying i have few pinnys he changed his tune said hed taken it of sale it had major issues.

You don't know the meaning of a heavy pinny until you have lifted a bingo. Last one I helped a mate move took 4 of us

They were ahead of their time. The 50's Bally Bingo machines in original state are worth a lot more than these 70's machines. I would not pay more than $400 for a 70's Bingo. If you can locate a 50's bingo, then the asking price can be around the $1400 mark. I've restored a Bally Miami Beach (10 years ago) and they are HARD WORK to restore, but are fantastic to play.

Agree - Cypress Gardens comes to mind.

im pretty sure it wasnt bmx. But a carnt be to sure he was a bit rude so i didnt have a real good loik at it.

Im thinking that it had like a tour de france theme but i could be wrong. If it was a bmx looks like a  very good game.

Any one interested in either i could go back ask again. There just not the easiest to deal with...

Here's a 50's Bingo on FleaBay.

This is a VERY nice example of an original Bally Bingo. The only unoriginal part is the Bally/Williams legs, which will buckle under the weight of the machine if it is dragged across the floor. The asking price is a little too high for a non working game, but to find one in this condition (working or not) is almost impossible !

Looks like a nightmare inside. You can see why there so heavy.
