Title: Bally 742a with wrong door?
Post by: Harvs on May 17, 2022, 02:26:37 PM

I picked this up broken (I fixed it in under 1min) for $85 even though I noticed the odd plaque on the front. I ripped it off and its clearly a 'skill stop' type door.

Is it possible to find and replace just that top part of the door with other similar models of Bally EMs? I'm no pro with these but it looks like that top section may come off?

I would like it to be original vs putting another cover there..

Should be fairly easy to find the reel glass bezel / retainer / frame.
Post the width dimension, someone might have one,
but needs the machine number and frame width to be sure.

16" wide. Machine number is a 742a, or is there another number to look for?

Thanks. - I looked on feebay and didn't find the frame or much of anything really. I will check out that Coin-Op forum and post a WTB here. 

Oh, and the machine came with the oak stand too.
