Hello all,
Forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong section. I've recently come across a Bally High Hand Coin Op. Could anyone give me a price range on this machine? Its in full working condition. From my research I've never seen another one for sale, and cant find any others. Thanks

First ,welcome to the forum !!!
can't really give a good idea on a price, not seen that often. only made from june 1941 - end of 1942 (I believe) , & production not resumed on this machine after WW2.
I do own one, fully working, paint a little beat up & missing (or never had) the bally metal plate. I paid $400.00 for it locally & was delivered for free. Now we both know it's worth more than 400. I would estimate it being a $1,200.00 machine, fully working , nothing huge wrong with it.
these Don't have any transformers in them... So don't poke around inside them when they're plugged in = straight 110 volts. mine had an ill fitting "tin" cash box in it ,& replaced it with a wood one. was just a bit to close to a bunch of live wires. might be a variation of this also , not sure.
Information on this is non existent, including sales ads.

I've seen 2 others up for sale but, had already sold ,so the wanted price was no longer shown. was a collector in Chicago really interested in one.
I'll stare at the photos a bit to see if I see any issues (in my opinion). Any other photos of the inside ?

Thanks! Another guy I came in contact with estimated it around the 3500-4500 fully operational if it went to auction. No other problems I can tell with the interior but I'm kinda a newbie to these machines.

Well in an auction Anything is possible. if their asking price is "fair" , grab it !!! they are hard to find, fun to play ,specially with the hold the card buttons.
glass does show a lot of "paint" loss ,specially to the silver. Very hard to fix.
the only printed material I saw was in bill board magazine, 8 months after this was introduced in june 1941 at a trade show. claim it was still a hot seller for Bally. o.k. , where are they now ???
I can't find anyone with a "operators' manual" for this either.
keep us updated Please.
