Yes it's a 5p £60 version of Hotdog.
The reel strips have Cats and fruits instead of Dogs. Cabinet and wiring are identical.

Here you go.
You can come and see the machine in the flesh if you can get to Lowestoft, Suffolk?

lol nice one!
Please feel free to scam the scammers.

thanks a lot Chaps yeah, I thought it was a scam but cannot see where on the web they lifted the pictures from? It looks like pics where taken in the UK, it just doesn't look like the Décor in an Americans house?? and as mentioned, Craigslist, Aberdeen, with a very rare American Bandit, something's ...

Think this is a very sought after bandit! I would have love to have made a deal on this machine but after intial contact via email with a bevy of pictures sent to me, he stopped returning my emails when I asked for a contact number and address? It seems a good price when you look at what they go for...

Someone may want it as a centre piece and have no real interest in collecting slots, they're just happy with the one! £2530 is small beer for some people. Auctions do a great job of showing peoples' varied tastes and, more importantly, the monetary value placed upon them. I'm willing to bet the purc...

That's great. Makes you think of what will become of all the 30-40 year old machines that have survived! Ever so slowly becoming collectable and not worth a great deal but a precious few have a soft spot for the old EMs. Also 1970s Bell Fruit with cams and timers are becoming harder to come by and I...

I reckon that's a very interesting point Bandito! Call me suspisous but I have a feeling that some sellers have faked the single machine permit by making up a number like 000087 as there seem have to been less than 100 issued! I'm willing to bet eBay does not check with the GC to see if the permit n...

Looks nice enough and still running on 220 volt euro current (note the step up transformer)

Agreed, it is over restored - looks just like a repro.
I have many machines from the US and not one of them looks that new!
Each to his own, but I think 90% of collectors agree that it is a little too bling for most on here.

I Sincerely hope Pete doesn't get flooded, I was in his arcade just last week taking pictures of his Buckley Crane as I am restoring one. He has all his model cars and figures from the village all lined up on Newspaper on the floor of his Vintage arcade. It would probably take half the day to clear ...

Bally machines with "features" in the top box are beginning to be quite sought after now, from a collector's point of view! There were pictures of a Haunted House on here a few months ago which had some spooky animation in the top box and a swopped out belly glass. I believe it was a '70s ...

Thanks for help and pics guys.
I was thinking of having one made as well, so if no one's got one hanging around I will have it made.

Thanks again Guys

Same as last pic, Jingle, on the jewel box.
Thanks for your interest!

Topic merged - Site Admin. Bit of a long shot this, but I am attempting to restore a Buckley Chicago digger and I bought it in pieces so as well as spending an arm and a leg on plating last year, I have the added bonus of finding there are pieces missing as I go along. What fun, NOT! :NBG: Well, he...

This one was on ebay a few months back, don't know if this pic is helpful??

There are people probably more able to help there as they are more fans of the EM stuff

bummer!! I thought there are some nice bandits for sale on eBay? I do a search for the seller, 0 items for sale? I do a seller search for "completed items" again, not a sausage? Blimey, ebay police soon removed that lot, or so I thought, until I discovered the thread was nearly two years o...

Well, I love it, as I do most of the "feature" Ballys.
What exactly is supposed to happen in that top box?

Thanks Bob and JC, that's mighty helpful.
