Title: Bally EM ID
Post by: Phan000 on April 21, 2022, 07:23:03 AM

Picked this up at a flea market.  Needed some electrical work and loa da of cleaning.

No tag,  curious what model it is?

Would this top glass be a replacement?

The guys would need to see inside to ID it I think?

Can you post a photo of the inside?

 I believe it's a 922. Post a photo with the upper glass removed and you will probably see part of the old progressive units.

Thanks,

Here is a photo of the inside, but hoppper and reel mech have different numbers.

There are the progressive white numbered plastic reels in the top.


I can take a photo later.

922-ZZN isn't on my list ... I have info up to 922-ZZL.

however, it's a lightning game, so the 922A paperwork will be close.  If you can get the codes stamped into the slotted metal index discs and the M-645-xxx number on the payout disc, matching to another model may be possible.

as 63mini said, you may be lucky and the progressive stuff is all still there but disconnected and you'd just need the correct top glass to make it work.  If you aren't lucky, they removed the progressive units and associated steppers.

 I forgot to add that the upper glass was replaced.  I have a similar wall hanger here.  One of your 5-line style glass was listed on eBay for $100.

 Also, here is another 922 that I have stowed away.  It was also a converted progressive.

It did appear that all of the progressive parts were still there.

Guessing this mod was not done by the casino?

I’ll get the numbers later, and start looking for the top glass.

the belly glass is the correct logo for the silverbird casino in las vegas that closed in 1982, so the top glass was not in the game if it came from there.

More times than less, one of the components is marked with the machine ID.
