Title: Bally belly glass
Post by: Allen on April 30, 2015, 02:56:25 PM

I have a 1981 Magic 7 - 3 reel slot machine. The belly glass is broken and measures approx 20" x 8'. Does anyone have one for sale or something of that size that would fit. How do you remove the glass to replace the flourescent tubes?

Post a picture of the glass, I might have one.. There are two screws on the inside of the door. One screw is behind the doors white molex wire plugs on the right side, and the other is over by the door lock and lock switch.. That loosens the light assembly from the door, but you still have two small phillips screws holding the chrome glass retainer on the bottom corners.. Remove the chrome retainer and lift out the glass to get to the light bulb.. Have you tried changing the starter for the belly glass?

Many thanks Gary. I followed your advice. It may be the starters. I have ordered 3 new ones. I posted the photos of the belly glass.

While you have the Belly glass out I'd just replace the bulb.

I've attached a couple pics. I have a question for you. Does your machine have just bars and 7's, or does it also have Cherry's? This one I have here was a repair job.. Once I got the machine operating, I realize the payout glass has cherry, bars, and 7's, but the games reel strips and game chips are for Bars & 7's only!! The person I was fixing it for didn't even realize this problem since he bought it at an auction. So I bought it for parts or hoping to find a payout glass. I never expected to see another one like it again... SURPRISE..  :nerd:

Hi Gary;
That is the same slot machine as mine. Mine has bars and 7s , no cherries. Do you want to sell the belly glass and ship it to me in Cut Bank, Montana. I am a Canadian and order things on line from time to time and have it shipped to the US border.

Send me a PM, and we can work out the details. Can you post a picture of your payout glass. I never thought I'd see the correct glass.
