Question
Any info about it's worth would be helpful. I haven't used it for about 20 yrs. It still worked back then.

Answer

Made at the same time
Hi Ken,
I have to answer questions here fairly fast as the response feed could go negative like your ratings of me if I don't. Once ratings are left they can't be changed. so when there is not any information on a machine right up front it sometimes takes me days to dig for it to see what can be found about it. That is why I was asking for more time on this. My feedback is all I get for taking my time to research this stuff for free!!, for people like you. Doing these coin operated machines for 43 years plus gives me an edge, but not everything is there at your finger tips for a machine made 80 years ago. I am guessing that you machine is a payout also like the Bally all stars, if it is, it's value is in the 800.00.00 to 1,2000.00 range. There is no blue book on this stuff, it's worth what the seller is willing to sell it for, and what a buyer is willing to pay for it. There are guides that help, but this one is not going to be in a guide. I haven't seen a Belmont sell but I see machines like it sell in the past. Anyway, now that you have left me poor feedback at allexperts we are done here. In the future you might try one of the paid appraisal sites and see if paying for this information will get you better information faster information on it, and what they may value it at, but I get these questions from them also. Good luck on it.

Hi Ken,

Made in 1936 and a one player game. I could only find information on it's brother, made the same year and looked about the same, I will attach this information to this answer as it does have some history for you about these games. The one I found is called Bally All Stars Payout, That is about the best I can do you right now but I'll see if I can find something more specific on just your model.

Well you can find some information on the Belmont here at this link:

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!
