Info on Bally 873
« on: June 09, 2017, 12:18:08 PM »
Greetings to all!  First time on this site.  I have what I think is a Bally 873, but the actual model shows 6873-F.  The front glass just says "Classic".  It is a Five Liner, nickel machine.  It opens from the top, like a slant, and the handle is on the front instead of the side.  It looks like a table top model.  It went through a shop visit for general cleaning and repairs.  A couple of questions/observations for the experts out there:
1.  Does anyone know what these are called and what they might be worth?
2.  The first reel doesn't activate after it sits idle for a while, is this an easy fix or adjustment?
3.  It appears to pay an extra coin on the win meter and in the tray, compared to the payoffs on the board.
4.  The jackpot meter in the top compartment has a loud hum or rattle.
Thanks in advance for any info and help.

Howdy.
     You have a0Bally Classic.  They first came out in the early 80s at the M.G.M. in Reno Nevada.
They did not gain acceptance and players did not like the handle on the side as it is located. They liked the
old handles. So the machines slowly disappeared from the scene.
Value I have no idea, if it works enjoy it.

PS Manuals come up on eBay for it.

Gator Welcome:


I understand from a friend who has 3 Classic games like yours that the electronics are different than a standard upright Bally EM.  I have never owned one myself.  Not enough space in my home, but if you PM me I will send you his phone number.  He would be a good source for a price since I believe he sold one several months ago
