Prevents Pilfering

Here's one out of the 1959 Wico catalog

BINGO FRONT DOOR PROTECTOR GUARDS METAL

PREVENTS PILFERING


Ad from 1959 Wico Catalog


Here's a closeup look of the said door guard 60 years later as seen on a Bally Beach Time Bingo. Stainless steel giving added beauty.

Pilfering... Tee-Hee!

Two coinmen walk into a bar.
First one turns to the second and asks: Why so glum?
Secon answers: My machine was pilfered

He should have used a BINGO FRONT DOOR PROTECTOR GUARDS METAL


Talking of Bally Beach Time...

I really should get this game up and running. It's been in storage since July 2017 :-(
With Sun Valley, It's the only magic squares moving number game you can move all 25 numbers.

Super Shot Bingo Pachinko

This article is from the July 1976 issue of Canadian Coin Box Magazine, page 8B

So far I have not found any information about Super Shot or Amusement Service of Atlanta.

Interesting machine.
It's like a simplified version of a Satomi Sammy Miracle Arrange Ball with 9 numbers instead of 16.

Cool, Weird, Rare

Wanted: Bingo Mechanic

It's the mid 50's. You have a coin-op business and you need a tech for your bingo machines.

What do you do?

You post a small ad in Billboard Magazine for a Bingo Mechanic. 

Below are a few screenshots of "Wanted Bingo Mechanic" ad's taken from vintage Billboard Magazines.

No drifters. Give Reference. Must be sober.

Pure Gold!
