Bally SS chimes sound much much sweeter than their Bally EM counterparts.

Compare a rebuilt Captain fantastic chime box with a likewise rebuilt Mata Hari. Difference is night and day. =)

The SS Bally chime bars are made out of a more substantial metal and seemed to be tuned and "ring" better.
The EM Bally chimes are aluminum I believe sound duller and not tuned nor as musical as their SS brothers.

Quoted from gdonovan:

The manuals list different winding coils which is the big difference I suspect between SS and EM Bally, I doubt the notoriously cheap manufactures would use a different assembly when there was no reason to do so.

The assemblies are the same except for the metal chime material. Take out one from each style Bally EM and Bally SS and hold in your hand.
The EM chime metal bars are made of a lighter less substantial metal the the SS version.
