This machine really caught my eye. Too far away for me, so I was thinking maybe someone here might be interested.

Many of those old bingo type machines are still around. They weren't terribly fun to play and were eclipsed with the advent of the flipper on pinball machines. Theres a couple of beautiful ones here at an antiques store that pay out in nickels. They're beautiful machines.

Dime a dozen in your country, and a pain in the proverbial to maintain, as they weigh the same as the Golden Gate, and are LOADED with coils and old relays.

Parts are easy to find at least (junker Bingos everywhere) - but finding a tech to do the work, is the challenge.

If you find one that's working perfectly - hold your breath. IT won't be too long before something breaks...

As the Seller says "will work nicely with small adjustments" - yeah, right... classic eBay speak for .."I don't know how to fix it, don't know anyone that can, and would prefer to dump it on you so it's *your* problem.."

All that said - I'm a fan.

The exact same model of machine was recently listed in CL for about the same price, here in the Atlanta Georgia area.
