Bally Nickel/Dollar Machine

I have a Bally machine that I have enjoyed for years, but have never seen one like it anywhere, nor have I heard anyone mention it.

Just wondering if anyone is familiar with the machine.

I realize that it is nothing super special, but just the way it was set up. Pretty neat, however.

You put in a nickel and it pays off in dollar coins. As you would imagine a winning combination does not come very often. LOL

Post some pictures of the Bally and the model number would be on a plate on the right side of the cabinet, the handle side, low and towards the front!

809-ZZZE
MT-7456

Looks to be an 809 Multiplier Model first manufactured in 1967!
This is setup as a Jackpot Only and the Keyman/Floorman would have maintained the hopper fill for the payouts!
Interesting!

Thought I was going crazy for a bit until I realized you posted in multiple threads!
I have re-posted your picture here below in the original thread
Yours probably started out as an 809 Jackpot only Multiplier converted over to a hopper to pay out Silver Dollars with nickle play!
My guess is that it was a casino modification because I don't believe it came from Bally that way!
Any thoughts out there?

Thanks Monti.

Sorry about my confusing posts. I am new here and still trying to figure out how it all works.
Have not figured out how to post more than one image at a time.
Also, when I tried to post an image as a reply, there was not option to upload an image.

Guess I will learn as I go. LOL
