Home . . . . Site Index . . . . About Us In 1963 Bally revolutionized the slot machine. It re-introduced a 1941 console slot. That's right, the 1941 Bally Club Bell Console, a three coin multiplier, was in existence in 1941.
In 1963 Bally converted the console to a casino slot, refined the hopper payout, and created a front opening case. That was the formula for success.
In 1968, Bally introduced the Model 831, the first three line payout slot machine. The multi-coin, multi-line slot machine is still the standard today, 30 years later.
Needless to say, with these innovations, Bally took over the slot business and drove the giants, Mills and Jennings, virtually out of the business.

In 1969, Bally introduced the Model 847 Continental, a four reel, six coin multiplier with a right-to-left payout sequence, as well as the more traditional left-to-right payout.
In 1970, Bally introduced the Model 889, a three line progreesssive, with each coin played adding to the jackpot's value. As you can see, each of of the Bally innovations revolutionized the way slots are played.
Another interesting new concept in slot play, was the Bally Model 935 Reel Dice that was introduced in 1972. The goal of the reel dice was to have the two reels with dice symbols equal the 'proposition' that showed up in a window on the left side, next to the two reels. Unfortunately, this slot concept never became very popular.
Fortunately for collectors, all these revolutionary machines are over 25 years old and can be purchased for home use in most states. In addition, collectors are also lucky because there are several detailed repair manuals and trouble shooting guides available for all 1986 slots to keep your slot in tip-top condition.
Marshall Fey, one of the publishers of Bally Service Manuals, states that ' Bally Electro-Mechanicals are well constructed and, consequently, very dependable requiring a minimum amount of servicing. The mechanical components need little attention except for occasional lubrication. If there is an operational problem, it is generally attributed to electrical parts. Once located, most malfunctions are generally easy to remedy, because what appears to be a maze of wiring is actually a combination of simple circuits.'
Now-a-days, it's not unusual for slot collectors to include Bally's 1960s slots along with their 1930s slot collection. Those who play slots in today's casinos often prefer the Bally 1960s slots because of their similarity to the casino slots.

It seems like one of the few activities where friendship or kinship coupled with ownership of a truck or van suddenly obligates a person to engage in taxing physical labor for the price of fast food and maybe a beer (for the non-teetotalers amongst us, anyway).

Also, I want snapshots of the mass of boxes, arrayed similarly to the final shot of the good Indy picture (call me selfish, if you will)As far as my 'moving tale' (and yes, I'm starting this thread expecting other moving tales), it's not exactly a moving tale in the having to move a whole house worth of stuff, it's more of a moving tale in the Laurel and Hardy's Piano Movers sense. My friend made the mistake of late-night eBaying, and ended up being high bidder on a Star Trek: Next Generation Williams pinball machine, shipping not included. He works at a rent-a-car place, so he 'borrowed' a truck and we picked up the machine at the seller's place.

Thing is you don't realize how heavy those machines are until you actually are expected to lug them up a flight of stairs. On top of that you don't realize how long they are until you try and negotiate a staircase that has a landing with a bend 3/4ths of the way up. After struggling to get the machine up to the landing, getting it around the landing proved impossible. While in an awkward position with him at the top end of the machine and me holding up the bottom, my friend did some quick disassembly of the back portion of the machine to give us the manuveurability required to get the machine in his living room (why didn't we do that before getting stuck at the top of the stairs? planning is for wimps!).
He enjoyed having that machine, though, for awhile anyway, now it sits buried beneath a pile of junk in a side room (his wife (needless to say he bought the pinball machine, pre-wife) didn't agree that a pinball machine belonged in the living room (even one as good as ST:TNG), and most folks know how that conversation usually goes)
(also, thought I'd toy with a poll, since the Add a Poll buttons call out to me every time I post here)
