Miss America Bingo

Just picked this up off Ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270665388031&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT


Full set of schematics etc for $132.00.... far out what a bargain cos this is the 1957 version of this game.. not the 70,s.

oooh it needs quite a lot of work,BG is not the original, but the PF is worth that money to me


Wifes gonna kill me but i couldnt let this pass by... would have been very UNpinball of me

An absolute STEAL - Has to be the eBay bargain of the last 10 years. I seriously rate this Bingo as the most collectible Bingo of that era. This is the 1957 ORIGINAL Version. Highly sought after.

Schematics are VERY hard to come by and are worth $40 on their own. It will need a repaint and a set of original wooden legs. What is of great interest to me - The backglass is a perspex copy. In the 70's my father reproduced several Bingo Backglasses, as they were often broken. I'm wondering if this is one of them. He also reverted to metal legs, as the wooden legs often broke from abuse.

Very keen to see the resto thread on this machine - and I've got a heap of spares if you need them !

Stoked !

Great Score Gav i think at that price you even beat my riviera purchase price.    And a 50s bingo would love to get my hands on one of them i paid $500 for my 70s piece of crap with a cracked backglass

I have a few 50's Bingos in storage Daniel - I'll let you know of the exact titles when I see them - which I have not since the 80's ! You are welcome to pick one out. I know you have seen the Miami Beach, I just need an original playfield for that game.

I had my eye on this as well as it's not far from me.
Also knew the wife would kill me if I bid.
Well done Gav!

Your a good man Nino how good would it be having one of your dads jukes and bingos side by side.

When you want to get rid of the "70's piece if crap" Daniel - keep me in mind?

Unlike you blokes - my wife WOULD'NT kill me!

Once I pull out the Continental II (restored) or the "K" model, I'll have a couple of Bingos to place around it. Of course, I still have the original (first coin operated device in Vic) Soccar table and an original Bumper Pool Table (restored) - both built in the early fifties.

I think it is awesome that people Want to own these old machines - they are great fun to play, and they are TRULY mechanical marvels. The only downside is that they are difficult to troubleshoot due to their complexity.

Nice pickup Gav, was very interested in this also as I have 4 bingos, but.....I can't fit anymore in me shed.

[ddstoys]

Mmmmmmmmmmm continental II.     That a nice juke stuff the whirlitzers

[v8racefan]

Good deal Gav, Bargin @ $132

[Retropin]

Oh yes..... stunning juke.
 Couldnt agree more.. would take this over a Wurlitzer also.

Ive even spoken to an uncle in UK about this juke ( we havent spoken for 20 years!)... he is after one and apparently some guy in UK has a kit and directions where you can build one from many other jukes...

... Thats how much people want this model....


Worth taking a look at!!
