haven't seen one of these listed for a long long time??

Interesting - That's the 70's version. If it was the 1957 Version it would be something I'd keep my eye on.

Still this version is fine - It just does not have the "classic" Bingo look.

These are an interesting type of machine. I take it there are no flippers - you just bump the ball into the hole you want it in?

They are flipperless gambling machines. You "bump" it into the corresponding holes that are behind the backglass. This site is a great reference for Bingos ;

think i know (guessing a bit) the history of this machine. it was sold on grays online about 3 months ago. all pinball in brisbane then auctioned it a few months back. it didn't make the money that he paid for it if he was the one that bought it off grays. given its goldcoast i suspect this may be the person who bought it at auction. if its the same machine its having a hard time finding somebody that wants to keep it..

probably worth wrecking to save later flipper games?

hmm all pinball could talk all day about his deals...

back on topic I had one of these about 5 years ago, I sold my miss america for $400 on ebay and it went to a collector in victoria. Just watching this auction with interest to see if the values of these bingo's have increased since then??

The later Bingos - (70s) don't really hold their value.

If it was a 1957 Miss America - Expect $2000 +

I restored a Miami Beach from the same era for around the $2500 mark.

this bingo isn't the one from the auction, because I have that one ....still
Shame about the playfield on this ebay item  , otherwise would be a good buy.
I love bingos
