A friend of mine has a 1977 Bally Miss Universe, bingo pinball and He wants me to sell it for him. My question is, Does anyone know what it is worth? I will get some pics of it next week. The game is in very nice condition.
Thanks,
Geoff

Unfortunately, most bingos are not worth much these days. Perhaps this is due to the fact that very few of us ever played those (they were outlawed in many places, as seen as gambling devices, even though few were actual pay-outs). And also perhaps due to the fact that there are no flippers on these bingos. ...Seems there is very little market for them locally in my experience.
However, they are colorful and are an amazing piece of technology, and playing/choosing options to try to make better odds is a fun exercise.
If you think that an EM pinball is complex, heavy and difficult to fix, think again! Bingos are way worse ! Fixing these is an art.
Looking for 1966 Bally Capersville, 1967 Bally The Wiggler, 1981 Stern Viper, 1986 Pinstar Gamatron, 1986 Williams Grand Lizard, 1991 Williams Bride of Pinbot, and a few others. Cash or some trades available. Could also repair a machine of yours +/-$ if needed, in exchange for one machine on my want list, non-working/unshopped welcome!
They are more of a novelty than a game. People play them a couple of times out of curiosity, then quickly realize that apart from some serious nudging, it is a game of luck and seems more like a gambling machine than anything else.
These are like having a slot machine in your collection... Most people own them... just to own one.
