I don't often ask for help but I can use some bingo help from the experts! There are two bingos for sale in Phoenix:

Manufacturer: Bally
Game/Type: Big Time / Bingo 1 Player

Production: Unknown

Condition: Appears to be in good condition.

Cost: Make offer
Location: Phoenix, AZ
Link/Contact: phoenix.craigslist.org link

I would like to add one to my collection if only because I want to see how these things tick. I don't want to spend a lot for a bingo. It means I can't buy a pinball.

My questions for you:

What are the values of these?
I have seen a video of Big Time. I'm not so keen on adding coins until you get the features you want lit. What do you think? Is this a pain or a plus? I know that these can be modified for single coin operation, but I wouldn't want to make that mod.
The only bingos I have played were in Las Vegas in the '80s. They had 'magic screens.' I really like this feature. Would I be better to wait for a bingo with a magic screen or would the Big Time or Dixieland satisfy my bingo itch?

If anybody else would like these, by all means, go get them. I'm only interested because they appear to be in good condition.

Thanks Nick! Nice overview of the two bingos.

The $200 price point is exactly what it will take to get me interested. This decision would be a lot easier if there was only one bingo, not two! I like the magic screen bingos, but not for $400-$600!

Any mechanical gaming device gives me the itch to investigate further. Strangely, I have never had any interest at all in EM arcade games. Of course, pinball machines are top on my list, but EM slot machines and bingo machines have always been there in the background to tempt me!

Now, where do I find parts, bingo experts??

I will be needing some of these plastic lamp covers:

broken plastic piece (resized).jpg

This ought to be the challenge of my life!

You guys are awesome!

I think I am about to find that out!

Got it! I have a whole new set of terminology to learn.

You must have been reading my mind when you wrote this. I thought it rather strange that the four on one side were fine and the other four were all broken. Thanks for the answer without the question! BTW, nice attention to detail to notice that.

You are too kind. DennisDodel has kindly offered to send me some, also too kind, but thanks for the offer.

Good eye! I've already found some wires that go to the top where whatever was there is now gone. Do bingos have toppers?

Thanks, I will be needing all the luck and help I can get. It's a daunting task.

Nice!

I plan to start a thread showing my progress from the perspective of someone who knows a bit about EMs and almost nothing about bingos. I am hoping that my EM pinball skills will be enough to get me through most of the restoration process. I will post a link here once it has been started. Feel free to join in and correct my mistakes and educate me on the finer points of bingo mechanics.

It so it begins.

Yes, please do be careful out there! I would feel terrible if one of you got hurt or robbed.

There are warning signs that tell you to 'proceed with caution.' I just posted this on the Project Pin thread:

I like to talk with the seller, either having him/her call me or asking for a phone number so I can call. I can usually tell if the seller is legit over the phone. He will want to tell me more about the item for sale and help to make the sale. And he should be friendly. If he doesn't want to converse, the situation is adverse and I put my gears into reverse!

Ha ha! That's funny. I wondered how he got it down from the attic without killing anybody!
