AT LAST !!!!!! - my Bally "BMX"

[Marty Machine]

YAY !!

After 5+ years hunting & waiting, i FINALLY have scored myself a Bally "BMX" - my personal grail :-)

Needs some good cleaning and TLC, but she'll be up'n'runnin' in no time  ;-)

This machine came from Gene Cunningham's personal collection, and thanx to Mark.C for bringing it over to Aus for me, amongst MANY other titles from Gene's collection.








Finally . . .

That's awesome, glad you finally found it.

Congrats Marty, its great to see a fellow collector find his Grail Game! 

I'm already missing that signature line of yours, had become part of the furniture around here!

Congratulations, saw the pictures on their website and wondered if you would get it, well done!

Glad to see you found a BMX!

Slightly disappointed to find out that a BMX had been lurking 3 hours from me all these years, while I've been looking for one, and now it's halfway around the world :)

Well done Marty. Thrilled for you mate ! I know this game will get the full treatment and I can see the smile on your face from my place !

John - Gene sent out "informational" emails about selling his collection - might have been on RGP a year ago ? I recall it was FAXED out to people at the time ! So I gather what is left are projects and doubles. I'd like to know where his "Big Dick" ended up

Great acquisition Marty They say all good things come to those who wait!

Enjoy!

Thanx guys for the kinds words, and YES, it's a thrill to finally obtain the elusive grail game (as we all know).

For the many that don't know, i'm a seasoned bmx racer from the 80's, a state (vic) champion back in the day, and keeper of southern hemispheres largest oldschool bmx collection (although selling a lot of it off).

So, it means the world to me to own this machine and give it the love & restoration it truly needs.

Some things we just don't need to know..........................what happens on the road trip........etc...

Looks fantastic!

You can even make your own topper or add some toys with all the BMX stuff that is available at K-marts these days.

Yep, small 'fingerbikes' & parts etc will all help with addons

from the pix I saw, his "Big Dick" was nestled in between "Dolly Parton" and "Mata Hari", but the Captain Fantastic was moving its way into the frame..
