Bally Old Chicago that is 100% working. I have owned it for around four years.
The person I bought it from didn’t do a full restore, but did a very thorough mechanical and cosmetic shop job. Has worked perfect for years.
The playfield is nice. No real paint loss, no planking, but some regular wear. The last owner tumbled or polished every screwhead. It does have two small holes where someone must have had post at some point? Not sure why? They are right below the cars on the mid-lower playfield. A couple bumper skirts could use replacing.
Mechanically it has been perfect for me. Set to free play. I’ve never had to adjust anything in the back box or cabinet.
Plastics are almost perfect. The center one has a little scratching from a screw under it. I have a CPR plastic set that I would sell for an additional $100 if the buyer wants it. It includes a little mini-topper, key chains, and some extras.
Backglass is almost perfect. No chipping or paint loss. I have a CPR reproduction backglass too. I would give the buyer the choice of which one they want, original or CPR. I want to keep one of the backglass.
The cabinet is pretty good, but not restored. Some paint fade and loss. It has new reproduction Bally legs. Rails, lockdown, and coin door are nice. I would guess this machine went off route and into a home early to mid-80’s. Has a sticker from Bell Music in Akron who must have been the original route company or sold it back in the day. You can tell the sticker is pretty old because it doesn’t have an area code in the phone number.
Not in a basement! If you’ve moved an EM machine out of a basement you know that’s a plus.
