OVER 5 HOURS of EXPERT ADVICE!
Hi, my name is Richard Gerlitz. I have been repairing and restoring Bally Bingo Pinball\'s for over 20 years. In this time, I have repaired or restored over 1,500 games. Covering all models that Bally ever made from 1950 to 1962.
During that time I had seen just about everything that could wrong with these games. I have a thorough understanding of the theory of operation, lubrication and all adjustments. So out of the encouragement of many collectors, I have finally compiled all this knowledge into a digital video download to allow you to get your game running, and keep it running. Finally, an all in one Bingo Repair Guide!
