Thanks for the heads up this guy contacted me about repairing this machine for him but I wasn't real keen on the idea but hopefully I can buy it I'd much rather an original fifties bingo than the 70s one I have now

Interesting.

That may well have been operated by my Father at some point. He used to repaint the playfields in that diamond arrangement. He had a stencil that did this effect. Many of his cabinets were repainted, or stainless steel was used to cover artwork when these were recognized as gambling games. The siderails were factory wood and replaced with metal. These also used to have wooden legs. The channels around the head was for perspex, so when the player lost they could not throw their stubbie through the backglass. My father had perspex reproductions made to replace all the Bally bingo's backglasses.

It is a fun game.

Now that it's ended you can see the offers.
I am not sure how these classified ads work, but the seller declined an offer for the advertised price????
