Answer
Hi Don,

On your Bally 742A-69, My records say that this is the; 742A-69: Riviera Triple Bar. Is it? The models 742 A came out in 1964 and these models numbers show for several different games. Value is hard, as it's a guess, it all depends if you selling it yourself in the paper or it being sold in a retail store, but average price I see them seeing for on the after market run from about 500.00 to 1,000.00 in this area, so a good average value would be around 850.00 if your selling it. This would be about the same as you could expect to get for the other one also, at this time. Your other slot the model 809 and was made in 1967, this was a popular model and there are a lot of them still out there. Both these games are Bally Classics, which refers to there nice small size and a perfect fit for just about anyones home or game room. These are both nice machine and I would start out asking more then 850.00 but I just don't think they will sell fast for much more then, the price given. Hope this helps you!
