Still heavy, a little less than the automatic payout version, watch your back when lifting regardless. :D

Guard, id like to think of this forum more of an all canadian forum that is inclusive of southern ontario, anyone can correct me if im wrong, you and i being from the area. not that i post a lot on here , but it is a daily read and i have done some business and got to know a few members throughout this site. there is plenty to read about as a hobbyist. i dont want to get into politics or flames , but as far as i have seen lately , the "other site" tends to be mostly a sales site for one or two vendors , a regurgitation of kijiji ads. most hobbyist posts i do make to initiate conversation go unanswered. perhaps its what i offer in conversation that is the reason for that i dont know

that being said , i have agreed in principle for this machine with a deposit to pick up friday. i dont have a bingo machine and im a litle overcrowded at my shop these days but i can always let it sit . its cab design is similar to my 59 bally batting practice.

i was a half an hour out of montreal last week picking up 4 machines, the gentleman that sold me them said someone picked up like 20 bingo machines a week or two before from him , anyone know who that was?

Sweet! If you do get it, any chance you could grace us with a gameplay video? These one-ball games are rather obscure AFAIK.

thanks so much for sharing, singlezero. No rush on video or anything, but would love to see when you do get it running.
Congrats on the grail find. :)
