Question

Pinball picture
Hello! My father has a Bally Circus Pinball machine and would like to know the value. I can't find any numbers on the equipment but have attached pictures to see if you can help identify the model and its value.

Answer
Hi Teresa,

It's a good thing that you were able to provide a photo of it, because Bally made two Circus pinball machines. One was made in 1957 and the other, your model was made in 1973. It first rolled of the assembly line in November of 1973 and Bally made 3,550 of these units. Value as of late 2010 and in working, average condition is $425.00. Yours is a four player game, and the earlier model Circus was a two player game. The name of you game is "CIRCUS" which is the model, and made in 1973. I hope this answers all your questions that you wanted to know about it.

Thank You

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
