Pokie Machine - Freebie

[thefasteddy69]

Hi Guys,

Was given an pokie machine last weekend and seeing that I do not have an use for it would like to offer it to the forum memebers as an freebie. 

Its a Bally machine and does have some rust but should srub up OK with some work.

Drop me a line if you are interested and happy for pick up from my place in Bowral just 1 1/2 hrs sth west of Sydney.

I'll be sure to do a restore thread on the old girl so everyone can enjoy it how's that sound?

Well done to you. If anyone needs mechanical pokies repaired around the Newcastle area give me a call. I love fixing these things especially Ballys from the 70s.Cheers, Mark.

I was spewing I missed out on that one Leon but as usual it all comes down to timing wrong time for gavs right time for eds.

Sorry guys Daniel was quick off the mark. Its is an classic looking machine and really glad its going to a good home.

Daniel will have hes work cut out for him as has rust issues but will look great with a bit of work. However got it for free myself from a friend who runs the recycling centre at a tip in Sydney.  Also on the same day picked up an Bally Pool Sharks pin as well.

Never seen one before and is in need of some TLC but the playfield is in excellent condition, but very very dirty. The cab is so so as it must of been somewhere damp and the ply has lifted a bit. Not sure what to use to lay down again, maybe some white wood glue and clamp the areas as they dry? Its does power up some lights and displays an error. Had the original manuals and paperwork inside as well as a $2 coin. Magic.

Good Karma all round 

Ed - Did you pick up the Pool Sharks from the tip as well ?

[thefasteddy69]

Hi Nino, yes mate I did and was an freebie as well.

Here are some pics of both of them. Have got the playfield out already and the backglass will need to be sealed asap as it has started to lift and is very fragile. Must of been mothballed in an shed somewhere. The one big mistake I made on the weekend was that I wiped the apron over lightly with a soft rag and the paint was so fragile that some of the writing just disintegrated. bugger.

How common are the Pool Sharks as never seen one on ebay?

some more.
