I'm hoping somebody may have created an instructions card for this era Bally (1966 Campus Queen) and could recommend a font. I played around with Ariel and Ariel Narrow Bold, but it does not look spot on. While I'm an MS Word for Windows person, I can always borrow my daughter's mac (that also has MS Word) if thats needed.

Many thanks in advance!

If you can scan them a bit larger and try to isolate a word from each page, I'd suggest trying out http://www.whatfonis.com.

You upload a black and white picture of a font and it scans it to try and match it. It gives you 100 results and you can visually match it to the one you think is closest.

Another one is: http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

Not an absolutely perfect match, but very close. Alternate Gothic No.2 BT Regular, with a slight stroke to match the thickness of the original text.
