I just took this bad boy in on consignment. I've had a few old slots come through over the years, but NOTHING like this! Since I know VERY LITTLE about this machine, I'm going by a prepared statement from the owner! This is a RARE Bally DOUBLE BELL mechanical slot machine in a. You have the option of playing either one quarter per pull OR two quarters if you're feeling lucky.
EACH side pays per the pay scale when played. This machine is 100% mechanical and works with springs and your arm pulling the handle.
It is from the 1930's and VERY FEW were made and or survive! I can tell you that I played it for about 30 minutes and it plays and pays smoothly.
It is NOT a loose paying machine!! The best I got was three oranges!! There were NO KEYS when it was brought in, so I drilled out the bolts holding the back door lock. The lock is included WITH NO KEY. The cash box also has NO KEY, but I did not do anything with it. The machine weighs a total of 122 pounds UNCRATED. Good Luck and Thanks for looking!
