Title: Wondering if this short Bally has a name
Post by: mwade109 on October 26, 2021, 09:03:34 AM

I am wondering if it has it's own name (so when I sell it or part it out I can describe accurately) because it is shorter then your typical slot.  Kinda like my 7' tall video poker machine is called Big Bertha.

If your referring to the slot machine on the cart, they call them a lowboy because they are so short.

lowboy is kinda the cabinet style.

they made a few different models, so to figure out what it is see if you have anything written with black marker on the hopper and/or reel wiper boards.

if not, look for codes stamped into the slotted reel index disks and the m-645-x number on the payout disc

The 3 reel (slide in assembly) has E-2090-201 etched on the front. The hopper sticker has model#E2090-87, solder#106, unit 600. unit # could be #800 it’s been crossed through with pen.

you probably have a bit of a mashup.  The E-2090 machine was a hi boy model - had a top compartment.

the E series games were a hodgepodge of cabinet styles and board revisions tho, so I guess it's possible that an E-2090-201 left the factory in a lowboy cabinet. 

in any case, the E series machines are over in the reel games area - http://newlifegames.com/nlg/index.php?board=75.0 (http://newlifegames.com/nlg/index.php?board=75.0) if you need more info.
