I was wondering about bingo pinballs . like from the 50's and 60's. I really know nothing about them or even how they are played. from what I've seen they look like they can be a nightmare to work on with all those wires and mechanical parts involved. also ive seen a few converted to pay out machines where the bottom cabinet was added, does this add or take away from the value at all ? I was looking to buy one that works or needs minor work but I have seen a few that looked really bad , stored outside for years . if I could pick up a working one for around $200 it didn't sound too bad to me , any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

thanks for the tips nick. question....do the back boxes lay down easily on a bingo machine or are they way involved to remove ? I would think all those wires would be a lot of work to disconnect. the reason I ask is I would be picking it up in my suburban so if I took the legs off would it fit in the back with back box on ? or would I have to have a truck so it could stand up ? they look like a lot of fun to play even tho ive never played one, or know the basics of the game. the one I was considering was county fair by bally.
