Top glass replacement

[chuck62]

Hello,


After having bought the Bally 809 Multiplier to a friend, I looked to what had been done in the Bally electromechanical machines, and inevitably the classic pair is 809 and the ... ... ..the ...... ..873 !! !

The 809 Multiplier, as its name suggests, can multiply gains and is called a 5 credits machine. So you can play 1 to 5 coins, and each time it multiplies the gain.

The 873 is also a 5 credits one, but it is a 5-line. You can play 1 to 5 coins, or 1 coin per line.

Below the 873 which is on the left is for me, and the 809 which is on the right is going to go back to the North of France for a friend.



I owe this discovery to Mr Zpeakabonk, a big thank you to him !!!

As announced at the time of the sale, it is in its "own juice". It operates in 110 V, but has the hopper, mechanical coin and the wiring seems whole and it did not seem to have been cannibalized. Small feature, it comes straight from Japan !

The glass are in fairly good condition, there is a small scratch in the lower right, but I should succeed in recovering it. Which suffered the most during those years, it was the chrome. We will see what will be possible to get back with Belgom Chrome.

I'm pretty happy to have met this couple 809 / 873, even if it is far from being clean and functional, I will see the extent of the work to be done when I really put my hands in it.

Let's go, photo shoot, I have left in the original size so that the specialists give me their opinion on possible "anomalies", though I've already identified a few, just by taking photos.

We can see the scratch on the lower right, but luckily the glass was not affected. The topper is missing.

I am looking to replace the top glass of my machine that is very similar to this one here, can someone please direct me where I might buy something like this? Thanks in advance and you can contact me at Chuckdonna@megalink.net instead of on here...
