Title: found a hoard...
Post by: farthingbowl on January 29, 2016, 01:48:40 PM
Last week I have been busy "salvaging" Bally's from a hoard. found a guy who had to clear an old house in the Netherlands and he had lots of Bally's for sale, the only thing was I had to buy all or nothing... turned out to be 41 machines indifferent conditions, decided to go for it and most of them are in my warehouse (which is for my normal job) some machines are made up from parts others are very good, most of them not been used for 10-15 years. took a few pics. enjoy.. there are


classics
continentals
bonanza's
superlines
treasury's
etc etc

excellent find - the bally bingo is a rare one especially if it is complete and working - the treasury is as well.

the bingo seems to be OK only the cabinet is very bad, I think it once stood in the water or so... there are also some E-series, and one Seeburg slot, very nice little machine.. but they all need work...so I have something to do the following months..

Months? It would take me enjoyable years to go through them all. Nice find. Have a great time.

when we were buying stuff from overseas they added many different  features to games and cut pays on others , most what they did hurt the value of those rare games , by them changing payouts on glass , cutting ,adding wires removing units adding extra coin unist ect

did not have a good look at the bingo, I'll see next week, there was one seeburg in the hoard, working on it now, it's called a money king

the buttons are not original for the bingo - since you are in Europe I would guess that this was an export model - in all the years I dealt with old bally never found a complete bingo - usually missing the hopper.

Nice score on the Bally  EM's !!

  Reminds me when I was in a storage bldg in  downtown Vegas. Early 1990's... Racks and  racks of  EM's plus  some E series and some early Video. Just guessing a few hundred machines.  They were on hand built wood  racks 2X4's / 4X4's and HD sheets of plywood.  Some racks had caved in because of the weight.  Partial dirt floors... 120 degrees inside...pulling out and loading machines. Oh... the good ol' days !
 
You can actually get a glimpse of the inside of the  storage bldg .... It was used in a scene from Casino.  Pecci  has some guys head in a vise and is trying to get some info from him.

some in bad shape, some combined together, but I think I can get about 30-32 machines back in Original shape. Iam a bit worried about the Keno's as that way out of my league, so far 11 in working order
